o-higan and o-hagi 2008-09-23 21:27:13 | ノンジャンル Today is o-higan, Autumn Equinox Day. I remember my mother used to cook o-hagi for us. Yes, her o-hagi was very delicious. When I was in Niigata, a friend of mine always cooked o-hagi for me. She was very good at cooking. She was always so kind as to help me when I had no appetite and could not cook for my daughter. I used to put her o-hagi on my altar. o-hagi was my husband's favorite! Oh, how much I miss them all! ( tamagawa-josui, today )
