Introducing Kagamibiraki, a traditional New Year's event! | Rakura Utsunomiya Ikegami

Hello, I am the PR person in charge of Rakuzo Utsunomiya Ikegami store.

Have you already started your work or studies for the New Year? It is customary to hold "Kagamibiraki" around this time of the year, but do you know what this event is for? In this issue, we would like to introduce the date and origin of Kagamibiraki.

What is the date of Kagamibiraki?

Some of you may look forward to Kagami-Biraki every year, when the Kagamimochi displayed on the altar of a Buddhist deity are served with ozoni or oshiruko (sweet red-bean soup). The date of Kagami-Biraki is every year.1month11Although it is set on the same day, it is actually held on a different day in some areas. For example, in Kyoto and neighboring areas1month4It will take place on the same day and in the Kansai region.1month20It is held on the same day. It is interesting that they are the same event but on different days.

What is the origin of Kagamibiraki?

Kagamibiraki, an event to eat Kagamimochi offered to the gods and Buddha, is said to have its origin in receiving such power from the gods and Buddha and wishing for good health and good fortune. It is forbidden to cut Kagamimochi with a knife, as it is considered to be akin to committing seppuku (ritual suicide), and the original manner is to break it open with a wooden mallet. Nowadays, it is not unusual to find Kagamimochi packaged in a case, so there may be an increasing number of people who are unaware of this ceremony.

Mochi is good, but how about hot pot?
