ohagi,botamochi Demystification was published in Mainichi INTERACTIVE though it often lifted as a casual doubt. Do the standard during the standard, and the dark night of the red bean soybean flour of the japanese-style confection was sprinkled to the glutinous rice and nonglutinous rice "ohagi". Is another name applied to the same one though it is called "botamochi" at the same time?Or, contents might be slightly different according to the name. The mystery was solved.

To begin with, the difference between "ohagi" and "botamochi" :.

･"botamochi" ......Because it likens it to the peony (peony) that is the flower of the period at that time ..eating at the equinoctial week of spring..
･"ohagi" ......Because it likens it to the bush clover (peel) that is the flower of the period at that time ..eating at the equinoctial week of autumn..

On the other hand, "botamochi" and "ohagi" spread as food lifted up to the god by us with wish to express our gratitude by us for the autumn harvest, there are a private organization manners, and ..various how to call.. exist in the region etc. a rich harvest of spring.

Besides the theory "The alias is different from flowers of the season" though I want details referring to a former article.

･Sprinkled what : .."botamochi" and yellow.. Co ..the one that "Difference theory with bean jam" ...... red bean bean jam was applied... ｢ohagi｣
･"ohagi" .."botamochi" and... the one that "Difference theory by the state of bean jam" ...... palanquin bean jam was applied
･"Difference theory by the size"...... A round, large one is : of "botamochi" and the one made small and long. ｢ohagi｣
･The remaining one : ..possession state "botamochi" and "State theory of rice" ......... ｢ohagi｣

ohagi・botamochi The theory has been enumerated. Both theories heard somewhere, and I am felt like if said so.

However, the one of opening "botamochi" and "ohagi" by "It was originally called ohagi with botamochi in the noble class" is similar according to specialist's story.

Well, "Do it eat ohagi and botamochi at the equinoctial week?" in it whyThis｢It is necessary to take care of one's health at the turn of the season at the equinoctial week. Then, it eats a good red bean for health, and it prays for good health. ｣There seems to be a shade of meaning. Moreover, because the color with a red red bean was believed as an auspicious color, we seem to eat the one offered to the god, and to be included the wish "I want to take gods and Buddha' power into our bodies".

To tell the truth, it is the same that contents only of .."Ohagi and botamochi".. alias ..the difference... This. However, "botamochi" is still a little "ohagi" and does an elegant nature from the musical sensitivity etc.It seems to be certain only that there are no differences in the desire and delicious entrusted even if which how to call is used at any rate.
