It was fine and beautiful.
It's been getting colder, and becoming harder to get out of the comfortable bed.
After work I went to Gotanda to attend the first monthly meeting. The venue was 1 minute away from the station but since I got out from the wrong side of the exit, it took longer time than expected.
It started at 6:30 pm and lasted for mote than two hours. The new year party was scheduled but since I live far away I gave up.
January 11 is known as kagami biraki (鏡開き). It is a time when we eat the round rice cake offered to the gods at the new year. These rice cakes are called kagami mochi (鏡餅), literally mirror rice cake and usually two of them are piled, and an orange is placed on the top. Usually we eat them as oshiruko (お汁粉) or zenzai(ぜんざい) which are sweet red bean soup.
