Savouring Ummon-no-mukashi under a harvest moon
Japan has a tradition of offering dango (dumplings made from rice flour) and susuki (pampas grass) to the harvest moon in hope of a good harvest. The date of the harvest moon varies from year to year, falling between mid-September and early October. Times like this, when you can enjoy matcha while gazing upon a beautiful, shining moon, become precious memories.
