こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は月見、について話します。
月見は日本の風習の1つです。

実際、今の時代では、ゆっくり時間をとって、月を見ながら団子を食べる、というようなことはしないと思います。

もともとは中国から伝わっています。
この風習が800年代に日本に伝わりました。

当時は貴族が行うようなイベントで、ふつうの、一般の人にはなじみはありませんでした。

江戸時代、月見が一般的になった時には、芋煮を食べることが多かったそうです。

そのあと、だんごを供えるように変化して、今にいたります。

はじめにも言いましたが、この時期の満月の時に、みんなで集まって月を見ながらだんごを食べる、ということは今はしません。

でもこの時期はスーパーなどでは、月見団子が売っていたりします。

おもしろいのは、マクドナルドが月見バーガーというハンバーガーを毎年販売しています。目玉焼きを挟んだハンバーガーですが、人気があります。

みなさんの国では、この時期、なにかおもしろい風習はありますか？

ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！
お待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
