A day for Yukimi Daifuku

Yukimi Daifuku is a popular Japanese ice cream dessert.  It consists of a ball of ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of soft, chewy mochi, with two small sticks to eat the product with. The original version involves vanilla flavored ice-cream, but there are other flavors too. My kids love the original Yukimi Daifuku, as do I. 

November 18th annually is Yukimi Daifuku day. The date was chosen because the 11 of 11/18 can be read  as "good". And the 18th, because an open package looks like "18" with the stick and two "Yukimi Daifuku" that come with it. The commemorative day was established by Lotte, who own the patent to "Yukimi Daifuku". The purpose is to promote the company's product "Yukimi Daifuku".
