When the air temperature and humidity rises in summer, it’s easy to lose your appetite, a common part of summer fatigue. At this time, all you need is a mild, refreshing dish that will help calm your upset body from the unpleasant hot weather.

Let’s explore the traditional tsukimi food that are eaten and offered to the moon during the midsummer festival.

Like the cherry blossom viewing festival, Tsukimi festivals are considered one of the oldest festivals in Japan with a history of more than 1000 years.

Chazuke–also known as tea rice–is an underrated, yet tasty part of Japanese cuisine. Just add a hot cup of green tea or dashi broth over some cooked rice, and you got yourself a humble Japanese dish that’s good for sprucing up some leftovers. 

Kyoto is home to many traditional Japanese sweets. They are crafted to be both beautiful and delicious!
