今日は年末恒例の佐渡ケ嶽部屋のお餅つき
お相撲さんたちが威勢よくお餅をついているのを見ると、お正月がやってくるのを感じます
僕も搗かせていただくのですが、これが意外としんどい
今年は娘と同じ歳の琴ノ若と
以前よりしんどかった
楽しみは大根おろし、納豆、きな粉、あんこで和えたものを食べる搗き立てのお餅
親方とご子息の琴ノ若関と一緒に記念撮影
そして家に帰ってお昼は、お土産にいただく大きな大きな餅米のおにぎり
満足満足
門之助🤞
To the annual year-ending mochi pounding at the Sadogatake Stable.
As I watch the energetic sumo wrestlers pounding mochi always makes me realize a new year is coming.
Thankfully, they always let me pound as well, but the mallet is heavier than you imagine.
Much to my surprise, I got kind of exhausted earlier than before.
One of our favorite things is to have freshly pounded mochi with soy flavored grated radish, natto, roasted soy bean flour, and sweet bean paste served right after.
Then we had huge rice balls made with mochi rice from the stable.
Above us the pic with the stable master Sadogatake and his son Kotonowaka.
This made my day!
