The three-tiered kagami-mochi is made of 5 liters of stone per stone, approximately 225 kilograms of rice cake, and weighs approximately 370 kilograms, after the Kokura Domain's stone height at the time was 150,000.
Participants decorated lucky charms such as gold fans and konbu, and finally Reina Hirahara, a staff of Kokura Castle, a year-old mouse born next year, completed a kagami mochi with evening white yuzu from Kumamoto prefecture. I was allowed to.
Mr. Hirahara said, "I would like to do another year next year to challenge more."
Kagami-mochi will be displayed until January 10th, and on the 13th, about 2,000 people will be serving soup powder containing this mochi.
