That night, an altar is set up in a place from which the moon is visible; it is decorated with Japanese pampas grass, and Tsukimi Dango dumplings, sato-imo (taro), edamame (green soybeans) or chestnuts are put out, and sake is offered, in which way people enjoy viewing the moon (moon-viewing dishes), such as in a Buddhist service for the full moon in order to pray for a good harvest.
この夜は、月が見える場所などに祭壇を作りススキ（すすき）を飾って月見団子・里芋・枝豆・クリなどを盛り、御酒を供えて月を眺めた（お月見料理）、豊作を祈る満月法会など。
