  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!
