Osechi Ryori - New Years Food
Another Japanese new year tradition is to make new years food, or Osechi. Each dish has a special meaning for the new year and is usually prepared beforehand so no cooking is required on new years day. Since I was having a Japanese new year I also decided to make Osechi.
