🍡MOREISH MITARASHI😋
Today is the beginning of a three-day period celebrating mitarashi dango (みたらし団子)!🎉
Actually, this happens every month from the 3rd-5th because...
3= 'MI' (み)
4= 'taraSHI' (たらし)
5= 'danGO' (だんご)
Tenuous wordplay? Yes.
Fun? Also, yes.

In its traditional form, mitarashi dango is made up of 5 small rice dumplings...skewered, grilled, and served with a sweet soy sauce glaze.
Legend has it that the inspiration for the snack came from a miraculous incident involving Emperor Go-Daigo (後醍醐天皇 1288-1339).

During one of Go-Daigo's outings to Shimogamo-jinja, 5 bubbles appeared in the water as he purified his hands.
Interpreted as the human body (五体 - head, arms and legs), it was taken as a fortuitous sign.
The emperor offered 5 rice dumplings (4 big & 1 small) to the shrine gods.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS🌸
cherry blossoms-
over there an edge
of Old Japan
花さくやあれが大和の小口哉
-Issa (小林一茶), 1798.
This weekend marks the start of sakura season here in Kyōto, and the crisp weather suggests the trees will be putting on a special show this year.

It's often difficult to gauge when to start celebrating the various blossoms...but this isn't a problem inside the teahouse😋🌸
