Happy New Year! Hope you all enjoyed some delectable bites and sips over the long weekend. As with most Asian families, there is always a table full of food, and New Year’s day was no exception. Here are just a few shots of some traditional Japanese New Year’s food (Osechi Ryoori) we shared that day…
Ozoni Soup with Omochi
Oden (and no, that is not a rock on the left 🙂

Happy New Year!
Someday you’ll have to tell me the significance of the items on the pickle plate (with the lotus root, burdock root, kamaboko, etc.). I even asked my Nisei grandmother once, and her answer was “I dunno, we’ve just always served these things on New Years.”
Hope you have a delicious new year!
