Kagami-Biraki

In Japan, January 11 is the day of
Kagami-Biraki.
At New Year days, we offer Kagami-mochi (round rice cake) to the gods.
Then on the 11th of January, we cut the rice cake and eat it. We hope for health and good-luck. We call it "Kagami-Biraki".


Today I cooked Oshiruko (sweet adzuki [red-bean] soup) with pieces of the rice cake.
It was delicious, and I felt happy.
