土用の入りの「あんころ餅」
今年の土用の入りは7月20日。 みなさまこんにちは。オンラインスタッフみどぱです。 季節が進み、あっという間に暑さの厳しい7月です💦 今年の「土用の入り」は7月20日ですね。 土用の入りとは、年に4回やってくる 立春、立夏、立秋、立冬の前18日間の期間(土用)の初めの日。 京都では「土用の入り」には「あんころ餅」をいただきます🍵。 京都の厳しい暑さをのりきるために、 ついたお餅と厄除けの小豆を使用したあんころ餅を食べる風習が 江戸時代より続いているのだそうです。 また、土用の期間には、転居や結婚、就職など、 新しいことを始めるのはいけないと言われています。 土用はそれぞれの季節の変わり目にあたり、 体調を崩しやすいものですからね。 本日も京都は30度越えの猛暑。 日々暑さが厳しくなっておりますが、 甘いあんころ餅と、お茶でひと息つきましょう☺️🍵
