I asked my mother to come home and take care of my 7-year-old son yesterday because I have to go to work.
When I came home with my 5-year-old daughter in the evening, his temperature had already gone down.
My daughter said:
"I want to eat the Hina-arare!"
"Hina-arare (bite-sized rice crackers) is an offering to Hina-dolls. You can eat it on March 3rd, because the Girls festival (Hina-matsuri) is on that day."
I explained the reason why she should wait until eating them.
"Oh no! I can't wait!"
She likes Hina-arare very much.
I heard that it tastes different in each region.
Those which I had bought so far included sugar or soy sauce tastes.
In fact, I told her the same explanation last year, but she asked me whether she was able to eat it every day or not.
At last, I allowed her to eat it before March 3rd because I couldn't be bothered to explain the reason to her every day.
How long will she be able to put up with eating Hina-arare this year?

Hello Kumi-san,
ReplyDeleteInteresting read, I was not sure what rice crackers were so I did a google search the Osenbei style rice crackers look very appetizing though I could not tell if they are the same as the bitesize ones. They look very similar to popcorn.
Here is a list of some of the issues found with the post:

Thank you Terry.
DeleteI corrected them.
Fortunately, my daughter is able to wait until eating them.
But she says "I can't wait for March 3rd every day!
