How to make ★Rabbit Dumpling★for Japanese Moon Festival～うさぎ饅頭の作り方～（EP71） | Kitchen Princess Bamboo

Today, I will show you how to make "Rabbit Dumpling" , in Japanese “Usagi Manju”.

“Usagi” means “rabbit” “Manju” means sweet dumpling filled with red bean paste.

I will be making 2 types, one is an authentic style, and the other is the ingredients which you can easily find.

24th of September (the day is not fixed because based on the lunar calender)   we have  Moon Festival.

It is just before the harvest, we show our appreciation to the moon.

The Moon on the day is said to be the best moon in the year.  We enjoy viewing the beauty.

While we enjoying, we offer Sweets to the moon on that day, like rice cake balls or sweet dumplings which I am introducing today.  Rice cake balls represent the moon itself.

Then, why we make Rabbit?  That's because we see the shade of the moon as rabbits pounding the rice cake.

What do you see in the moon in your country?
