Otsukimi at Hillside!
Today, our TUJ community celebrated Otsukimi, the traditional Japanese moon-viewing festival, with some delicious seasonal sweets!
Students had the chance to try a variety of Japanese treats while learning about the flavors and traditions behind them:
🍡 みたらしだんご (Mitarashi Dango) — Dango with a sweet soy sauce glaze
🍡 つぶあん草だんご (Tsubuan Kusa Dango) — Green mugwort dango with chunky sweet red bean paste
🍡 こしあんだんご (Koshian Dango) — Dango with smooth sweet red bean paste
🐰 うさぎぽてと (Usagi Potato) — Rabbit-shaped sweet potato
🍡 黒ごまだんご (Kurogoma Dango) — Dango with black sesame flavor
🌰 お月見栗どら (Otsukimi Kuri Dora) — Chestnut dorayaki
A sweet way to welcome the autumn moon! 🌕🍁
