The outer shell of the glutinous rice balls is made of glutinous rice flour, and black sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, white sugar, etc. are added as fillings. The shape is round, so there are many ways to eat glutinous rice balls.

The meaning of "reunion".

There is a custom of eating noodles during the Lantern Festival. The shape of noodles is long and slender, so eating noodles has the meaning of longevity and health. On the morning of the Lantern Festival, people almost cook a bowl of noodles for breakfast.
