Saturday - Saturn day,
29 December,
moon in Scorpio,
the 26th day of the 11th lunar month.
Timely Omiyage!
Japanese start a new year with Mochi (sweet rice cake).
Now you see, Takayama's Mochi have lots of Kuromame (black beans).
Black beans are the must item for Japanese New Year dishes,
which are believed to bring us healthier days during the whole year.
