中秋の名月。The mid-autumn full moon.

旧暦8月の15日にあたる。そしてそれが、スーパームーン(ひと月に満月が二回見られること)。けっこう前の話ですが。

近所の和菓子やさんで「名月」を購入。350円。たまには、こういうローカルなお菓子屋さんをサポートしたいなと。

The 15th of the day of the 8th month on the lunar calendar.  And it was supermoon (the second full moon within a month), too!

So I bought a wagashi (Japanese confectionary) called "Meigetsu", beautiful moon.  How artistic is it! 350 yen. It's not cheap, but you get the experience, not just calories.  I would love to support small local shops like this that keeps the tradition and refined confectonary techniques for centuries.
