Hina matsuri-Girls festival
March 3
Hinamatsuri is a festival celebrated by family with girls,
wishing their daughters a good health and growth by decorating
beautiful dolls made solely for this occasion.
On this day,We prepare special dishes like colorfully decorated garnished sushi,
red rice,clam clear soup and shirozake(white sweet sake made of sake and rice malt).
These dolls were given to me from my grand mothers when i was born.
I decorate them in this season every year with sushi and sweet.
Today I made these 3 kinds of dishes using spring ingredients
for this occasion.
I can feel spring will come very soon !
