Hinamatsuri (雛祭り)

- Never Stop Dreaming -

Today, 3rd day of the 3rd month of March in the 20th year of the Heisei Era is also a Japanese festival by the name of Hinamatsuri or Japanese Doll Festival or Girls' Day. For a more indepth English explaination, Wiki Here.

So I had a special treat for school lunch, Sakura Mochi. The Sakura leave that wrap the mochi has a weird and strong sour/salty taste but nonetheless very very fragrant. The pink mochi is very much like the normal Japanese mochi and sweet bean paste is stuffed in it.



Nope these are not my pictures but ripped off the net.
