A Happy Girls’ Day? That sounds an excellent thing to celebrate. I just learnt a whole lot of things reading your post.
Thanks for that.
Its interesting how a lot of cultures celebrate the same thing in different ways.

ジャニファー: Hi there I’m not too sure about the greeting but from the song ‘Ureshi Hinamatsuri’ meaning Happy Hinamatsuri, it might be that!

Manggy: hinamonogatari is sweet yes! Think rice crispies cereal that’s frosted sweet – it’s very similar. Dango’s so yum. I’ve got 4 sticks left in the fridge! Woot.

Gaby: Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I feel encouraged with your kind words.

Dear Sugar Bar, your post on girls day in Japan was most amusing. I love the mitarashi dango. I noticed all the foods were very girlie too. Awesome celebration! OMG! Incredible presentation. Loved your site, very professional. Photos were crisp and clear. Mitarashi recipes concise and easy to read. I shall be back for a bite of more.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers, Gaby
