Happy New Year!
Hi there!
Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! Happy New Year! Buon Anno Nuovo!!!
I realised that the traditional Japanese new year meal (osechi ryori) that I had this morning could be interesting to be shared with you (well, not physically...). However, first I would like to show you the typical Italian breakfast of the 1st January...
... yes, usually only a cup of espresso, Italians are so tired after the new year party ;-)
In contrast, Japanese are in good shape on the morning of the new year so they can enjoy the osechi ryori.
Hand made osechi ryori. This morning at my home.
Just a few indications for gaijin ;-) It consists of different traditional foods prepared during the days before and each of them symbolizes something.
Here you can see: datemaki (the yellow sweet egg omelet, it represents the wealth), gomame (sweet dried baby sardines, it represents the good harvest), kurikinton (a dish made from candied chestnuts and mashed Japanese sweet potatoes, my favourite part of the meal; it represents the wealth) and kamaboko (colored fishcake; good luck) (left box); scrimps and roasted buri fish (middle box); onishime (mixed vegetables) (right box).
Itadakimasu!
