A New Year with Matcha
It was warm and sunny this morning, and I felt happy that the new year started so beautifully.My son returned home late last night. He went to a shrine with his friends to celebrate the new year, and I didn’t notice when he came back.We aren’t celebrating the new year this time, since my husband’s mother passed away last year. In an ordinary year, we eat osechi, traditional New Year dishes, but not this year.After lunch, I whisked some matcha and enjoyed it with castella.I sometimes whisk matcha because I used to belong to the sadō club.The quiet rhythm of the whisk made me feel peaceful.In sadō, we usually eat sweets before drinking matcha, but at home, we enjoy them together in our own way.Thank you for reading my diary today.
