The Navy's arrival at the port
Entrance zenzai introduction
The origin goes back to the old naval era, and it seems that it expresses the labor of a long voyage and the joy of returning to the home where the family waits. At that time, sugar, which was a luxury product, was used to make anko, and it seems that it was quite a special food. This zenzai contains the meaning of healing fatigue and the meaning of celebrating that I was able to return safely, and it seems that this custom has been partially passed down to the current Maritime Self-Defense Force. It contains mochi, shiratama, taiyaki, etc.
