Today, on the 11th of January, is Kagami biraki(鏡開き), the cutting of New Year's rice cakes. Kagami biraki is a Japanese traditional ceremony which is broken Kagami mochi(鏡餅), round rice cakes offered to the gods at New Year's time. And we eat the broken rice cakes as a sweet bean paste soup with rice cake. We are getting health to eat the broken Kagami mochi. I am going to eat the sweet bean paste soup with rice cake after dinner.
