Do You Know About Shortcake Day? ♡

There are countless anniversaries in this world, almost every day, and one of them is "Shortcake Day"! ♩

Just the sound of it is already cute, Shortcake Day ♡

Do you know when that day is?

The answer is, 【the 22nd of every month】! ♡

Shortcake Day is celebrated on 【the 22nd of every month】! ♡

But why is the 22nd of every month Shortcake Day...?

Because the number above 22 on the calendar is 15 ♡

The reason is clear at a glance when you look at the calendar.

The number above the 22nd, which is exactly one week earlier, is the 15th.

The 15th has a pun related to [strawberries], so with strawberries on top, that makes the 22nd Shortcake Day! ♡

It's interesting, isn't it?

This idea of Shortcake Day was reportedly initiated by a cake shop called Cowbell in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.

It then spread through the cake and sweets communities,

and now we have events like:

- Lawson’s premium roll cake comes topped with strawberries on the 22nd of every month.

- You can buy shortcakes at Cozy Corner at a 10 percent discount every 22nd.

Many people must have thought, "Oh, that's why it was like that on Shortcake Day!" ♩

The 22nd Also Represents [Couples] ♡

Moreover, the 22nd of Shortcake Day also has a meaning of [couples], represented by November 22nd being Good Couple Day.

On the 22nd of every month, it’s nice to think of it as, "Let’s continue to get along as a couple," and sharing a shortcake together would be lovely. ♡

It's a monthly reward! ♩

By the way...

November 22nd has the pun of [Good Couples], but I thought about what other puns could be made for other months!

January 22nd: Lifelong Couple

February 22nd: Smiling Couple

March 22nd: Miracle Couple

April 22nd: Good Couple

May 22nd: Loving Couple

June 22nd: Harmonious Couple

July 22nd: Friendly Couple

August 22nd: Happy Couple

September 22nd: Cute Couple

October 22nd: Forever Couple

November 22nd: Good Couple

December 22nd: Always a Couple

(Let me know if you think of any others! ♡)

I Want to Look Forward to Shortcake Day Every Month＊

The 22nd of every month is Shortcake Day ♡

And it also has the meaning of [couples], making it a day that feels a little extra special.

It would be wonderful to create a lovely habit of buying shortcake from your favorite bakery and enjoying it together on the 22nd of every month.

Why not consciously celebrate Shortcake Day as you embark on your newlywed life? ♡
