For hina-matsuri we display beautiful dolls and offer food and drink. Normally the drink is shirozake or Japanese white wine, and the food is hishi mochi. Typical hishi mochi is a diamond shaped rice cake that consists of three colored layers; pink, white, and light green. There are several different stories behind of the reason why it’s three-colored and diamond-shaped, but it’s summarized that the shape and colors are for good luck.
