 Ingredients:
Charcoal peanuts/Sour cream / Curry broadbeans: you can choose as many as you wish
1. Scoop some sour cream on the plate.
2. Put Charcoal peanuts on the sour cream
3. Put garnished curry beans beside the sour cream.
"Hanetsuki" originated as a New Year's event at the imperial court, a sort of polo in which mounted players with flat bats vied to see who could be the first to scoop a ball into the goal. Centuries later it became the custom to give these bats as New Year's presents. Gradually the bats shrank into the decorated battledores, or hagoita, of today, with which a single player tries to keep her shuttlecock aloft, or two players may participate to hit it back and forth in a netless version of badminton.
