Minazuki

Minazuki is an old name of June.
June 30 is the end of the first half of a year.
This cake , named after June has been eaten on June 30 in Kyoto, to get purified and ward off the evils.
The triangular is formed after a piece of ice.
In the imperial court in ancient days, a piece of ice ,which was available only to the noble, was taken, to get through the summer heat.
