Otsukimi Party 2010

今日は中秋の名月お月見団子作りです。まずはお部屋を片付けて準備開始!

Otsukimi Party

In Japan, September is well renowned for the beautiful view of the full moon. During the full moon in September, we make dumplings filled with sweet bean paste and roll them in fine soybean flour. It doesn’t sound very nice when you explain it in English, but they are actually quite tasty.

初めてのコネコネで最初はびっくり!でもやってみたら楽しかったよ。

毎年やってるから慣れた手つきでしょう。
We do this every year so the older Deedee Deer students take the lead and show how it’s done.

When all the dangos were made, we posed by our creations with a lovely September themed flower arrangement and then ate then for our mid-morning snack.
