September 9 is Kiku no Sekku,which used to be called “Choyo
no Sekku”.
On this day,people drank sake with chrysanthemum petals,called
kiku-zake,
on a hill. They went to the mountains and picked chestnuts,cooked
them
with rice,and ate the kuri-gohan. It has been said from long
ago that
kiku-zake and kuri-gohan give long life.
