Today, I'd ike to introduce the food of the Star Festival :)
As you know, the Star Festival(七夕)celebrated on July 7th.
On this day, Vega(織姫) and Altair(彦星) can have a date
on the Milky Way once a year.
Connected with this day, we write wish for a strip of paper,
and suspend it to bamboo leaf.
Have you ever done this?
When I was a child, I did it :)
And do you know what we eat in the star Festival?

It's so cute :)****
There are various opinions
why people eat thin wheat noodle in the Star Festival.
1. We liken it as the Milky Way.
2. To inform a God about harvest of wheat
3. We liken it as thread of weaving.
and so on...
By the way, do you know the difference of Soumen and Hiyamugi?
Accordingto JAS,
the difference of Soumen and Hiyamugi is diameter.
The diamere of Soumen is less than 1.3mm.
On the othe hand,
the diameter of Hiyamugi is more than 1.3mm ~less than1.7mm.
But I love both of them!!!!
In this summer, I will eat them many times :D!!!
But, You should eat thin wheat noodle in this Star Festival ***
