A Happy New Year!


A Happy New Year!


It was very nice this morning.

We call New Year’s morning “gantan”. During gantan, we eat food called “osechi”.

Pictured above is osechi that I made.

This is not for just one person, but for a family.

Usually osechi has three boxes. We start with the food in the first box drinking “toso" (a sort of sake). The second box mainly has vinegared food and grilled fish. The third box has boiled food.

We don’t finish all the osechi at one time. Osechi includes a lot of food that can be kept for a long time, and we eat it until about the third day. However, eating osechi at each meal is tiring, so after gantan we often eat something else with osechi.



Thank you.
