Kagami Biraki literally means' breaking the mirror. This ceremony usually takes place at the new year blessing, but also at memorable events like the opening of a new building, a wedding or sports event. The ceremony consists of opening the prepared in advance lid of a beautifully decorated sakebarrel.
The most important people taking part in the ceremony will each get a hammer.
They hit the lid simultaneously. The lid which is prepared in advance so it will break easily falls into the barrel with a splash.
The sake that washes over the edge is a sign of good luck.
Now with a wooden spoon masu, authentic black or red lacquered cedar cups, are filled with sake. When the sake is distributed to the guests a Kampai, or cheers, is shouted by all. A dazzling start of your event!
