Hello👋
Here is our takeout menu for tomorrow, Tuesday. We will be at Picnic, located below the Totnes Civic Center, from noon to 6pm. We also accept advance orders. The final pickup time is 6:30pm. Please note that we may not be able to check emails or DMs on the day, so please place your order by the day before.
Thursday is Sushi Day at Greenlife Totnes and the Seed Buckfastleigh.
I think there are customs all over the world of appreciating the autumn moon. In Japan, there is a traditional custom called "tsukimi" (moon viewing). Sweet, round dumplings are prepared, silver grass is displayed, and people gaze at the moon. In my hometown, children are allowed to steal dumplings. Children are believed to be messengers of the moon, and it is said that the more dumplings they steal, the more abundant the harvest will be. Nowadays, it has become more common for people to buy sweets from shops for the thieves. Children shout "We're moon-viewing thieves!" at the doorstep and receive sweets. Just like "trick or treat"! This year's Mid-Autumn Moon is on September 25th, and the full moon is on the 27th.
Miyu's mochi, perfect for enjoying autumn and the moon, will be available at our takeaway pop-up on Tuesdays. It will be White Miso and Black Sesame this week. We look forward to seeing you all!
Instead of seeing a "man in the moon," in Japan people see a rabbit pounding rice. I see a big smile. What do you see? 🌝🐇🌾
