★ Jul. 20, 2019 Toraya, Tokyo: doyo-mochi (lit. ‘doyo’-mochi) ——– Rice cake with a covering of strained-type sweet bean paste ‘koshi-an’ mixed with muscovado (refined/partly refined/unrefined brown sugar) syrup. ——– In the old/traditional Japanese calendar, a 18-day period before ‘Risshu (lit. beginning-autumn -> the beginning of autumn)’ is called 'doyo’.* It has been customary for people in some parts of Japan (including Kyoto) to eat this cake on the first day of the period so that they can 'survive’ summer heat waves. ——– * Strictly speaking, there are three other 'doyo’ periods in the calendar, which come before 'Risshun (the beginning of spring)’, 'Rikka (the beginning of summer)’ and 'Ritto (the beginning of winter)’. ——– #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #tea #teaceremony #chanoyu #instafood #instasweets #foodpics #food #foodie #dessert #beautifulcuisines #foodart #patisserie #cuisine #japan #japanese #matcha #tokyo #東京 #和菓子 #お菓子 #スイーツ #お茶 #抹茶 #茶道 #とらや #土用餅 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Mln1Egvr7/?igshid=omap53muojw8 -- source link
