Dondo Yaki

Ogikubo, Tokyo

This is a traditional event when all the New Year ornaments are burnt in a bonfire. This event is at our local shrine.
The bonfire is also used for roasting mochi (rice cake) held on sticks, which is what these people are doing.

there might be interesting flavours arising from the ornaments to coat the rice cakes with..
