Lantern Festival
Lantern Festival
On the 15th day of the first lunar month, two weeks after Chinese New Year, another important traditional Chinese festival, the Chinese Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie or Yuanxiao Festival (元宵节), is celebrated. It marks the first full moon of the new lunar year and the end of the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) period. Chinese Lantern Festival 2023 will be celebrated on Sunday February 5th, 2023. On the night of the Chinese Lantern Festival, streets are decorated with colorful lanterns, often with riddles written on them. People eat sweet rice balls called tangyuan, watch dragon and lion dances, and set off fireworks.
Here at Sumiao, we will be serving our delicious tangyuan, a Chinese dessert consisting of balls of glutinous rice flour and water that are boiled and served in a hot broth or syrup. Join us at the restaurant or order takeout on Sunday, February 5th for this special treat.

We also think our Strawberry Nigori Sake is a perfect treat to share. This nigori sake-based liqueur is the product of five years of trial and error. After trying more than 1,000 flavors, the brewers decided this one reigned supreme.
The strawberry flavor is all natural. This strawberry flavor is added to a mellow nigori that has been a local favorite for 50 years. We recommend serving as is, on the rocks.

Musician Highlight: Mimi Wankenne
Musician Highlight: Mimi Wankenne
Mimi, who speaks seven languages, loves to express herself with music. She picked up the guitar at 8 years old and today, it is still her best friend. Her debut album was recorded in 2004 at 22 yeas old. The album is an international pop collection with covers of the Cranberries, Elton John, Ters for Fear, and Brian Adams. She has since released a second album in partnership with Paulo Brito on vocals and piano. She then gave up the state to follow love in China and spend five years there. She then landed in California to release yet another album with stories about leaving Brazil to follow love. Her music expresses her feelings and stories through brazilian rhythms. We are so excited to have her on stage at Sumiao!
