No.4121 A dirt rice cake
It is a cake, a rice dumpling covered with red bean paste of Japanese traditional bean jam. The manners and customs to eat a rice dumpling covered with red bean paste on the equinoctial week of spring began in the Edo era in Japan. It was believed that the color that was red was effective in averting misfortune from ancient times, but faith as food to pay illness to in the Edo era was tied to an ancestral memorial service and came to eat on the equinoctial week.
