19 September, Monday - Moon day, moon in Gemini,
the 22nd day of the 8th lunar month.
Keiro-no-hi; the national holiday to respect for the aged.
Japanese elders love Manjyu (cake filled with sweet red bean paste).
And as usual,
Japanese created the mixed culture food.
That is... a Mantou Donut.
A Chinese Mantou is fried in the American way!
The aged here prefer to have a bit oily & sweet stuff.
Sure, they take a donuts break at Dunkin',
carrying candies & a mobile phone here, there and everywhere.
Well, more than 30% of Japanese seniors are fat.
