Mitsumenobotamochi みつめのぼたもち

History and Origins

"The Powder of the Eye" refers to a large pus that we eat three days after the birth of our first baby. There is a theory that at one time, when food was difficult to satisfy, it began to feed large appetites with nutritious rice and beans for mothers who needed nourishment to raise their babies. Besides being told to eat hard instead of feeding, to get tired of giving birth and to have breast milk often, there is also the sense of telling relatives and neighbors that a baby was born, and there was a custom of giving greetings to them while they went around greeting them in heavy boxes. Nowadays, families don't make it; they often buy it at Japanese sweets and order it.

When It Is Eaten

On the third day of the baby's birth, it is common for the husband's parents to prepare and act, but sometimes they or their mother's parents will. Even though it is only when the first child is born that we eat the "sniffs" or pass it on to relatives. It won't happen after the second child.

How It Is Eaten

After you have boiled rice, rice can be boiled, rice can be boiled, and then you can not fold it into heavy boxes, fold it up, fold it up, and fold it up, top it up. When I eat, I cut it to the size that I can eat easily. It's not a heavy box, but it can provide three large heaps larger than the general size. The "stuff of the eye" is all that matters.

Contrary to the common dandelion and combs, it is a big feature to pack each one in a heavy box without rounding it. The Ibaraki Prefecture and other things are also called pygmies.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

There is also the theory that in a time when it was difficult to satisfy food, he began to feed his mother on nutritious rice and beans and try to improve the production of breast milk. This time, I call the moment's crush a great feeling.
