Tsukimi - Moon Viewing Day

Yesterday was Moon Viewing Day. Three years ago, I went to a temple where they had a special moon viewing ceremony. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to see the moon this year, but Ayako still prepared a special meal that is eaten at this time:
We ate dango (balls made of pounded rice) with different toppings. There was red bean paste, green bean paste, soybean powder and sweetened soy sauce:Here's a picture of me mashing the green beans to make the paste beforehand:
