menu of HINAMATSURI





This is a typical traditional Girl's festival menu.
CHIRASHIZUSHI  and Hamaguri no ushio jiru and salad of na no hana


CHIRASHIZUSHI is different from  that of sushi restaurant. (sushi restaurant of chirashizushi is usually with raw fish. Once my son weeped at sushi restaurant , as the chirashizushi he ordered was different from what he imaged.)
  sweetly cooked carrot, dried shitake, kanpyo, and shrimp.......(differ from family) are in it and beautifully arrange with yellow egg, green leaves or green string bean, and red salmon roe or  pink colored sweet freaked fish (sakura denbu).. Every thing is favorite of small children.

Hamaguri ushio jiru ......this is clam soup, with salt and soy sauce taste.
this clam must be still in the shell, when it served.
Clam shell  doesn't fit another shell,  fits only original pair.
So, this means happy marriage in the future.

When I  was small, I wore kimono, and parents  used to invite my cousins,  held hina matsuri party at home.

Chirashi with sashimi is (kaisen means flesh fish)
Chirashi with egg and vegetable is sometimes called .(as more than 5 things are in it)

Usually children like gomoku chirashi.It is cute.

It is very common menu in Japan, but may be it is difficult to find at restaurant.
