年の瀬恒例佐渡ヶ嶽部屋のお餅つき

今日は年末恒例、佐渡ケ嶽部屋  のお餅つき

早朝 の佐渡ヶ嶽部屋   へ

佐渡ヶ嶽親方と

琴勇輝関も一緒に

琴恵光関も一緒に

稽古場の土俵ではお相撲さんたち        が威勢よく、お餅  を搗いています

時には餅とり粉を互いの顔に塗り、真っ白な顔  になってふざけるお相撲さんたち    の姿は微笑ましい 

そして僕は今年もまたお相撲さんたち    に「もう一丁、もう一丁」   と囃し立てられて人一倍つかされちゃった 

出来上がったお餅はすぐに大根おろし、納豆、きな粉、あんこの4種類   で食べます

それにもち米で作った大きな大きな塩むすび 

これがまた格別 

こっちはお大福 

ダイエットなんかどうでもよくなっちゃうね 

縁起物だしね

さあこれで来年も無病息災

Annual end-of-year “mochi pounding” at the Sadogatake Stable.

Been to the stable early in the freezing morning.

Sumo wrestlers were pounding on the ring.

While, some young wrestlers were playing having the others’ face white with mochi powder, looking like Kabuki actors?!

As for me, they were kind enough to urge me to pound it.

And I ended up pounding twice or three times more than the others ‘cause they cheered me, “One more time!  One more time!”.

As soon as mochi is done, they served us with four different flavors.

Besides, another awesome thing is “huge salted rice balls” with sticky rice.

Let’s forget about being on a diet, JUST FOR TODAY! Ha, ha, ha!

They bring luck, they say, that’s why.

And this way, I won’t suffer any disease and stay healthy, next year!
