Kagami biraki refers to a traditional Japanese ceremony held on January 11th. It translates as "Opening of the mirror", from an abstinence, or breaking of the mochi, (traditional new year rice cake). Also it means the opening of a sake cask at a party. You can put secret gifts inside the barrel. There is a mallet included, which "breaks" the top of the barrel. Actually the lid of the barrel comes in pieces to keep it neat!
