We were invited to our Japanese Aunty's house to celebrate Girls' Day. Daughters below 5 years old are being ceremonialized in the month of March for a week.
For Girls' Day, there are two symbols that you hafta hang or display to signify the daughter's existence:
This King and Queen "playset" complete with box etc
A Kimono
There is also a Boys' Day somewhere in June, if im not wrong. and you hafta hang 3 Golden fishes of 3 diff sizes.
Firstly, we were served with Sakura drink. The drink is clear, but the whole flower is inside the cup! Including stem! and all is edible. Mummy claimed it tasted sweet n sour like plum juice. Fine by her, cos its her fav... i just tried a sip but that was it Hee :D
Next is a special Girls' Day snack/appetizer made of rice! Very nice!
The Girl! Baby Sarina, our cousin. Almost 5 months now.She's not always this grumpy though.
The Orginal Sushi
My uncle, Cik Ajis, said that the original sushi is served "loose" rather than wrapped with seaweed. That's great! Great for me who doesn't like seaweed, that is.
The Sushi platter
The dessert
They are mostly made with glutinous rice with varying sweeteners and flavours. Some is green bean, apple, sakura and dont know what. I didnt try any of it but finished 3 bowls of that snack! LOL!
