Okinawa's winter tradition ``Muchi (Demon Mochi) Day'' is December 8th of the lunar calendar. This year it is January 18th. On this day, each family makes ``muchi'' wrapped in sannin leaves and offers it to the Buddhist altar to pray for the health of the family and ward off evil spirits. A Muchi tasting event will be held on Saturday, January 20, 2024 at around 16:00 on the Depot Island seaside promenade boardwalk. Please try it and feel the Okinawan culture.
