Toraya Ohagi

The seven-day period including the three days before and after the vernal and autumnal equinoxes is the higan (equinox), and the spring equinox in 2022 is March 18. According to Toraya, the custom of offering "o-hagi" at gravesides and Buddhist altars and distributing them to neighbors on the equinoxes spread in the late Edo period and has been handed down to the present.

This time, four types will be available: "Ogura-an", "Brown sugar-an", "Shiro-an", and "Kinako (with gozen-an)", with different combinations available at different stores. They are as follows
