Tsukimi-zake

Tsukimi (月見) means "watching the moon". Normally it should be the full moon. During autumn in Japan, the air becomes cool and clear. It is good season for having a drink outside at night, and the moon is very beautiful. So "Tsukimi-zake" is drinking sake while watching the full moon.

Today is the 6th May. There is a full moon. It is a bit cold outside in Melbourne.

I caught the moon in my ochoko. This is the standard tsukimi-zake style (for me!).

 However the moon had gone somewhere when I tried to drink it. I think I need to develop some skills to drink it?

So I ate "Tsukimi noodle". This moon (egg) didn't escape from my bowl!
