Children’s Day and Traditional Culture: May 5th
Thank you for taking the time to read the FB Management newsletter!
On May 5th, which is Children’s Day in Japan, you can enjoy the country’s traditional culture.😊
It’s a day to wish for the healthy growth of families and children, symbolized by colorful koinobori (こいのぼり) and kabuto kazari (兜かざり).
Moreover, enjoying delicious food during celebrations is also a part of Japanese culture.
How about traditional Japanese sweets for Children’s Day celebrations?
Rice Syrup is a traditional Japanese sweet that has captivated many people with its history and deliciousness.
Furthermore, rice syrup is rich in nutrients and contains elements that are considered beneficial for the body. Among these, the following points are noteworthy:
・Low calorie:It has fewer calories than sugar, making it suitable for dieting and health management.
・Nutrient-rich:It contains B vitamins and minerals that contribute to energy metabolism and maintaining bodily functions.
・Balance of satisfaction and health:Even in small amounts, it provides a sense of satisfaction, making it easier to control excessive intake.
・Easy to digest:It has digestive-friendly properties, making it suitable for people with digestive system issues.
Because these nutrients are balanced, both children and adults can enjoy it with peace of mind.”
With its traditional role as a sweetener in Japan and its compatibility with modern health consciousness, rice syrup is undoubtedly a perfect accompaniment for Children’s Day.
May is almost here! How about getting ready ahead of time? 😊
We recommend the rice syrup from Sato Den Masuo Shouten Co., Ltd.!
Founded in the first year of Ansei (1854), this sugar shop offers a wide variety of sugars as well as specialty items such as Konpeito made with carefully selected sugar and soaps made from materials sourced in Nara Prefecture.
A traditional syrup made by saccharifying rice with malt. Unlike simple starch syrup saccharified with acid, this amber-colored rice syrup has a rich flavor profile reminiscent of natural materials.
It has a gentle yet rich taste when consumed as is. It also pairs well with yogurt or ice cream.
Additionally, as a must-have seasoning in everyday cooking, how about incorporating rice syrup into your dishes?
Thank you for reading until the end.
Hi, I’m Matsumoto, the writer for this issue of FB Times.
My home has a kabuto-kazari (helmet decoration) that was passed down to me from my late grandparents. Originally, it belonged to my younger brother, but it was too large for him to display, so he passed it on to me. Now, I have it displayed for my son. I cherish it and hope to pass it down through generations.
We’ll keep sharing more information about Japan, so stay tuned!
