Otsukimi, autumn moon viewing, falls on September 17th in 2024. What variations of tsukimi dishes do you prepare at home? Something with udon or soba or a fusion dish?

    I don't / won't prepare any tsukimi dishes, but I do pick the kids up some tsukimi treats. Just yesterday I got some otsukimi rabbits in Kasho Umon in Kawagoe station (have just added a review for the shop!) And I'll buy some dango tomorrow to have on Tuesday. :-)

    I have to admit we often turn to fast food places to celebrate. There are usually variations of tsukimi burgers featuring eggs to represent the moon at chains like McDonalds (Burger King opts for pineapple), and sometimes they even have tsukimi-themed desserts. It might not be the most traditional route, but it's fun!

    @BigfamJapan I just read your review and will have a gander when I'm next in Kawagoe City. I visit a few times a year. Thanks always for your thorough coverage of Kawagoe's eats and sights!

    @genkidesu I get it, busy families are pressed for time when it comes to seasonal stuff. Okay, so I'm having a think now about traditional dishes I can make easily, and considering some fusion cuisine ideas to tell you about later...

    @TonetoEdo feel free to share if you have any good ones! I think the easiest recipe for me would just be satsumaimo gohan, which is a lot healthier than a burger ;)

    @genkidesu I'll make tsukimi fried rice tonight - chahan topped with a fried egg. I don't have a lot of imagination or appetite right now, but I figure that's in keeping with the tradition.

    @TonetoEdo oh that's a good one, and something my kids would enjoy, too! A good way to sneak some extra veggies into them!

The newspaper and you!

Do you get a newspaper delivered to your house or buy one in a shop or subscribe to / read one daily online? Or just read it every now and then? Or can you not remember the last time you read the newspaper?

What is your least favorite household chore in Japan?

Today is "Enjoy Laundry Day". I personally don't mind doing laundry that much, but there are things I don't enjoy so much. There are also chores I don't mind too much, such as hoovering and dusting, BUT I find them more taxing in Japan because they have to be done way more often in Japan than in my home country, because Japan has an inexplicable amount of dust! What household chores do you really dislike? And / or are there any household chores you don't mind doing too much in your home country, but find them more time consuming in Japan?

Do you go to Karaoke in Japan? Your home country?

I just wrote about Karaoke Culture Day and in September about Family Karaoke Day, so it begs the question: Do you go to Karaoke often in Japan? And while we're at it, some other questions; Do you like it? love it? Only go because somebody makes you!? And how about in your home country - have you ever been to Karaoke in your home country?
