Happy New Year 2020! That means it’s time for osechi again. This year, we ordered this cute little 3 tier box online. And just by happenstance, it was from a restaurant in Kyoto (美先|Misen) we had recently visited randomly for lunch that we really enjoyed. The osechi contained classic Japanese and a bit of French and Italian influences that paired well. Eating all sorts of good luck, fortune, health, happiness, and other well-wishes. Along with this, we always have the ozoni by mom which has mochi, taro, konyaku, fish cakes, mizuna, lots of katsuobushi, and no miso or other proteins. What’s in your family’s ozoni?
明けましておめでとうございます！2020年ですね。今年はこんなにかわいい御節です。1−２人前のサイズ。これが最近京都に行った時たまたまお昼ご飯に入ってみたレストランの御節でした。頼む寸前まで気が付きませんでした。日本料理にフレンチとイタリアンも少し入っていておつまみにぴったり。御節のあとはお雑煮！うちはお餅、里芋、こんにゃく、かまぼこ、水菜に鰹節です。味噌や肉・魚類は入りません。みんなのお家はどんなお雑煮かな？
