Today, I visited Mr. 168 for Taiwanese breakfast. Taiwanese noodle tea and zasai buns. Noodle tea is made by mixing wheat flour or whole wheat flour with crushed or ground sesame seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, and walnuts and roasting them. It's like soybean flour and it's delicious. Taiwanese cuisine is also deep.

Dondoyaki A traditional Japanese event held around the small New Year when old New Year decorations, shimenawa ropes, and ofuda talismans are burned in a purification fire. It is also said to mean sending off the Toshigami, the year deity who visited homes guided by the New Year decorations, together with the smoke from the burned ornaments. People also say that eating mochi or other items roasted at Dondoyaki brings a year of good health and safety. In Shinanomachi, many places seem to hold the event during this three-day holiday. When is it held in your area? Japanese New Year’s purification bonfire. #Dondoyaki #Shinanomachi, Nagano Prefecture #Shinanomachi #shinanomachi #nagano #naganojapan #dondoyaki

I photographed dried moray eels in KushiHonmachi, Wakayama Prefecture, a tradition of the winter season. The dried moray eels are cut into small pieces and fried, and the taste may vary slightly depending on the household, but it is finished in the style of tsukuni. It's perfect for sake, and although you can't imagine it from its appearance, it's delicious. When you come to Kushimoto for sightseeing, be sure to try the taste.

Photographed on January 3, 25. This is a demonstration of the New Year's celebration at Koedo Kurato. It is said that if you have a lion head bite your head, you will be able to spend your time without illness.

This photo was taken when I took a walk to a nearby park. There were many sparrows lined up and it became a healing photo! In addition, the curled up figure with winter hair is cute ♡

It's been a long time since I've posted. This is a photo of me when I went for a morning walk with my second daughter to a nearby shrine. By chance, I saw a figure holding a flower petal as a heart, so I involuntarily pointed the camera at it. Pampas grass becomes an overgrown landscape along the river. I thought this was the winter scenery of Japan, so I took a picture. It's hard to get rid of the fluffy feeling~

Photographed on January 3, 25. At Koedo Kurato, they were giving a demonstration of the New Year's song, so I went to see it. The lion's head is dancing.

Today, Sunday, January 12, the 40th Donton-yaki festival was held at Atami Sun Beach. This annual event is a long-standing tradition jointly organized by the ten neighborhood associations of the eastern and central districts. This year too, residents and tourists gathered to circle the piled New Year decorations called an ‘onbe’. At 11:00 a Shinto ceremony was performed by Chief Priest Amemiya of Kinomiya Shrine, and after the ritual the priest lit the fire. The ‘onbe’ blazed up vigorously as everyone prayed for health, academic success, prosperous business, and protection from fires. The photos look a bit dark, but it was actually sunny! Tourists who happened to pass by also stopped to watch this traditional New Year event.

【Explanation of swords and Samurai manners】 The relationship between the Samurai and the Japanese sword. From an early age, he learned how to use a sword and was allowed to wear a serious sword belt at the age of 15.

The sword is the soul of the samurai and cannot be sold, even if it starves to death. #samuraisword #katana
