ご挨拶 「 登高(タカキニノボル) 」秋分〜寒露〜霜降 Greeting " Gumi-bukuro " From Autumn Equinox to Cold Dew to Frost Descent

うだる暑さがいつまでも収まらないと思っていましたが、秋分にもなると紛れもなく空気は秋色に変わっていて季節の移ろいを実感します。

柏屋では、菊のお料理を旧暦の九月九日に合わせて寒露を中心とした頃にご用意をいたします。そして端午の節句に飾った薬玉を茱萸袋に掛け替えます。本来は、九月九日の重陽の日に掛け替えるものですが、柏屋ではお料理が変わる日に合わせて掛け替えています。茱萸袋を掛ける度に「もうこの季節が巡ってきた」としみじみと過ぎゆく季(とき)を感じます。

茱萸袋は、中国「高きに登る」という習慣に由来します。九月九日に茱萸を詰めた袋を腰にして高所に登る習慣がありました。そこで菊酒を飲み、物を食べると長寿を得ると信じられていました。これが日本に伝わり宮中行事に取り入れられ王朝貴族たちは茱萸袋を仕立てて、重陽の節供の飾りとしました。

柏屋の秋分より「菊づくしのお料理」をご用意いたします。松茸、栗をはじめ秋の恵みとともに、古より日本人が好んだ「菊」を五感でお楽しみいただけます。

The heat dies down and the season changes around autumn equinox.  You must feel autumn in the air.

At Kashiwaya, we prepare dishes with chrysanthemum around September 9th of the old calendar.  We removed the scent ball which had been hung at the entrance from May 5th and replaced it with Gumi-bukuro (the bag with oleaster) on September 9th.  I feel that the seasons come around every time I change the scent ball to Gumi-bukuro.

Gumi-bukuro derived from the Chinese custom.  They believed they could live long by climbing to a high place with a bag filled with oleaster, drinking sake with chrysanthemum and eating something on September 9th.  This custom was introduced to Japan as one of the palace events and aristocrats made a bag with oleaster as a decoration for the chrysanthemum festival.

After the autumn equinox, Kashiwaya prepares dishes with chrysanthemum flowers.  Please enjoy the autumnal taste like matsutake mushroom and chestnuts with all your five senses.

*Autumn Equinox/Cold Dew/ Frost Descent: The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms. “Autumn equinox” is the 16th solar term, starting from September 23rd. “Cold Dew” is the 17th solar term and starts from October 8. “Frost Descent” is the 18th solar term and is from October 24 to November 7.
