The custom of moon viewing held in mid-autumn is called tsukimi and widely celebrated in Japan. Tsukimi takes place on August 15 of the traditional Japanese lunar calendar. One dish that is enjoyed during the festival is Tsukimi Udon, a brothey noodle soup served with a raw egg. It is said that the egg represents the full harvest moon which is surrounded by clouds of noodles. I hope you enjoy these moon viewing noodles as much as I.
