【鏡餅・kagami mochi】"mirror rice cake" . Kagami mochi, a Japanese New Year decoration, is an offering to the 年神 (toshigami) yearly deity that visits during the New Years period, bringing good harvest and blessing for the year. . The decoration is two round, mirror-shaped rice cakes (round mirrors are considered to be holy in Japan) with a 橙 daidai (bitter orange) on top.🍊 . The orange is traditionally a daidai (and not a mikan) because when daidai trees bear fruit, the fruit stays on the branch for two to three years—hence named "daidai" (代々）which means "generation after generation". . January 11th is the day of 鏡開き (kagami biraki), a ceremony to open (or break) the kagami mochi and enjoy the offering—typically in a ぜんざい (zenzai) or おしるこ (oshiruko), a sweet azuki bean soup. . 開く (hiraku) = to open . #日本語 #にほんご #study #nihongo #japanese #japan #food #japanesefood #nihongoflashcards #japanesecustoms #newyear #happy2017 #鏡餅 #鏡開き #ぜんざい #おしるこ #azuki #redbean #mochi
