1 September, Saturday - Saturn day, moon in Pisces,
the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
I’m still doing the Golden Week Omiyage series!
Ibaraki
Yoshiwara Dentyu; literally
Yoshiwara (a name of maid), Dencyu (in the palace),
It's a Sushi-style Japanese cake.
Puffed sweet-rices are rolled with sweet soybean paste.
It is said that the maid 'Yoshiwara' working for Mito Daimyo
(a feudal lord of Ibaraki) made this unique
leftover rice sweet in Edo period.

Golden week ♡ the longest vacation period of the year in Japan,
which starts from the end of April, and last around 5th of May.
People go back to their hometown or travel abroad in this period.
Oddly, Golden week never ends without Omiyage (souvenirs) here.
We exchange Omiyage with friends, siblings, colleagues,
and neighbours, piling up foods in the kitchen afterwards...
Omiyage let us know or taste popular products in each region.
Interesting.
