yuka.t.33

日本では空が澄んで、月がひときわ美しい旧暦の8月15日に
豊作を祈り”お月見”をする習慣があります。
we have a festival called "otsukimi" which means "viewing the moon"
in Japan. It is held on August 15th of the lunar calendar.
We enjoy watching the beautiful full moon in the clear autumn air
and pray for a good harvest.

お月見のシーズンになると、有名なハンバーガーチェーンでは
卵をお月さまに見立てて、"お月見シーズン限定のハンバーガー"を売り出します。
During "otsukimi" season in Japan, some famous burger shops sell 
"tsukimi burgers"which have eggs in them.
Because the egg looks like a full moon.

秋の夜空に浮かぶ、美しい月を眺めながら"月見団子”の代わりに
月見バーガーをいただくのも、日本の新しい習慣になりつつあるのでしょうか。


月にかわって、おしおきよ。??  In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!!

日本語で楽しくお話をしませんか!
