This year too, the Kita family will perform the summer purification ritual, "Minazuki".
Sales will begin.

Kitaya's seasonal sweets are made with carefully selected ingredients.
To ward off evil spirits, place the Uiro (a type of steamed rice cake) on top.
This is a triangular Japanese confection topped with red bean paste.
The triangle represents ice that dispels the heat.
May you survive the intense summer heat and enjoy good health and protection from illness.
These are sweets used for making wishes.

Minazuki (a type of Japanese sweet)... 1 piece... 270 yen (tax included)

What is Minazuki...?
Since ancient times, in the imperial court, on June 1st,
I eat ice to pray for protection from summer fatigue.
There was an event.
Following that example, on June 30th, ordinary people
They eat ice-like sweets as part of the "Summer Purification Ritual."
And then, I will spend the remaining six months safely.
"Japanese sweets" are meant to be enjoyed in the hope that they will be able to do so.
This marks the beginning of "Minazuki" (the sixth month of the lunar calendar).
The triangle represents a piece of ice or an ice corner.
Adzuki beans are believed to ward off evil spirits and demons.
It's placed on top.
May you enjoy good health and safety for the remaining half of the year.
With the hope that you will be able to spend your time here.
Enjoy the seasonal deliciousness.
