The First Collaborative Task for the Couple Together ♡
When it comes to the first collaborative task of the newlyweds at the reception, it's the cake cutting. For couples having a traditional Japanese wedding, the Western-style cake cutting can be a bit of a dilemma... * So what about transforming it into a unique Japanese-themed performance that suits the traditional wedding theme? ♡
Now, let me introduce some collaborative performance ideas that can replace the cake cutting, characteristic of Japanese weddings ♩
Japanese-style Collaborative Performance Idea 1: Barrel Opening ♡
One of the increasingly popular traditional wedding performances is the opening of the komodaru (sake barrel) ♡ The ceremonial opening symbolizes "opening up fortune," making it a perfect performance for a wedding ceremony. *
Japanese-style Collaborative Performance Idea 2: Daruma Eye Insertion ♡
Similar to barrel opening, it has become common to see the daruma eye insertion performance recently too. Together with your husband, write in the eyes of the daruma while wishing for your happiness ♡
Japanese-style Collaborative Performance Idea 3: Chirashi Sushi ♡
Holding a single rice paddle together, scoop and serve the chirashi sushi generously. As you share it deliciously with your guests, everyone in the venue will surely feel the happiness ♡
Japanese-style Collaborative Performance Idea 4: Tuna Slicing ♡
Instead of cake cutting, how about "tuna slicing"? * The method is the same as the wedding cake cutting scene, but just by changing the food, the impression shifts from Western to Japanese ♩
Japanese-style Collaborative Performance Idea 5: Mochitsuki (Rice Cake Pounding) ♡
A slightly heavy pestle can easily be lifted when both partners hold it together ♩ This is truly a perfect performance for the first collaborative task as a couple. Let's put in the effort to pound some delicious mochi together ♡
