Happy Mūchī Day! According to Okinawa Clip, muchi is Okinawan mochi (glutinous rice cakes) wrapped in shell ginger leaves that are eaten to ward off evil. It's based off of a folk tale: "Once upon a time, a brother and sister lived in Shuri, the brother settled in the caves of Oozatoson, and when night came he became an ogre that chased and ate livestock. To exorcise the evil in her older brother, she put an iron needle in some mochi and wrapped it in a getto leaf and fed it to her brother and he was exorcised. That was the 8th day of the 12th month of the lunisolar calendar. So that day became a day to pray for your family's health, and the custom of eating muchi came from that."
