From September 5th to 18th, the food floors of the main and new buildings of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store will be holding an event titled "Waiting for Tonight's Moon," featuring Japanese and Western sweets, prepared foods, alcohol, and other items related to the moon-watching community.

"Tsukimachiko" is a custom that was popular during the Edo period, in which people would gather to watch the moon on a specific day of the moon's age. While moon-viewing usually takes place on the fifteenth night of the month (this year on September 24th), Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store is also proposing menus to enjoy the thirteenth night, also known as the chestnut-flowering moon and the bean-flowering moon.

Kiyoken's "Yokohama Mooncake" is characterized by its moist bean paste, an adaptation of the Chinese mooncake to suit Japanese tastes.


KITAYA Rokuninshu's "Meigetsu" (Fresh Mooncake) is a beautiful jelly-shaped cake that depicts the waxing and waning of the moon. This is a limited edition item available at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, in conjunction with the "Tsukimachiko" (Moon-Waiting Class).



Tawaraya Yoshitomi's "Tama Usagi" is an adorable rabbit-shaped rice cracker made with elegantly sweet gluten. It will be available at Kayuan on the first basement floor of the main building from September 10th to 24th.



You can also enjoy the "Tsukimachi Gozen" meal, featuring sweet potato, chestnut, and bean dishes, at Jiyuan on the first basement floor of the main building.



Why not enjoy your own "Tsuki-machi" story at the "Waiting for Tonight's Moon" event at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, where a wide variety of autumn flavors perfect for parties, snacks, and souvenirs are available?
