<\/a><\/p>\r\nAt Obamaya Confectionary Shop, we sell “chinkoros” every year during this season. Chinkoro is a lucky charm for the New Year, made of kneaded Uruchi rice flour in the shape of animals such as the Chinese zodiac.<\/p>\r\n
This year, in addition to the Chinese zodiac sign “Tatsu,” there are five types: sarubobo, dog, rabbit, and bird. Each is about 3 cm in size, and after forming, they are steamed and cooled before completion.<\/p>\r\n Each item is handmade by three family members, including the owner, Takashi Nakamura.<\/p>\r\n Takashi Nakamura, Store Owner According to the Obamaya Confectionary Shop, some people buy chinkoros to pray for a good harvest, safe delivery, and success in school.<\/p>\r\n Takashi Nakamura, store owner Each pack of chinkoros contains 5 pieces and costs 1,500 yen including tax. They will be on sale until the 25th of this month.

\r\nThis year we have had a big earthquake since the New Year. \uff08I made the zodiac sign “Tatsu” in the hope that it will break the bad trend and bring good luck in the coming year.<\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n
\r\nI hope people will enjoy decorating chinkoros as a way to calm their minds and heal their souls.<\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n
