It's March!
It's spring!!!
As it was a very warm winter, cherry trees are already turning in pink.
Winds are still cold, but sun light is in the colour of spring.
So, here is one Japanese spring event on 3rd March.
It's Plum (Peach) flower festival AKA Hina-Matsuri. It's a girl's festival hoping a good marriage to come.
I normally make doll shaped sweets for this day, I may not have time...
Therefore, I prepare Sakuramochi earlier than usual. Please celebrate the festival with flowery sweets, instead.
A new sweet are on the shelf from yesterday.
It's a plum wine steamed sweets.
My friend brought back very precious plums which was used to make plum wine in her grandma's house. I't's handmade and very natural... and very strong!!!
I was drunk as I was eaten only one liquored plum.
So, I chopped very finely and steamed with the skin of sweets.
Please enjoy the aroma of plum wine as you put it in your mouth.
And!
On Saturday 5th is the Open Day of Brighton Japanese Club.
an-an will take a lot of spring sweets for this event.
Please check the poster attached.
The school is just a few mins walk from Brighton station or Shopping Centre.
It's a festival whoever interested in Japanese culture can enjoy!
