Happy new year 2009!
In Japan, many family make several foods for oshougatsu(January 1st through 3rd)before January 1st. This is a Japanese traditional event. These foods are called osechi in Japanese.They make some kinds of foods and pack them into big lunch boxes. I heard from my mother why these traditional food making began. She said," Now, most of grocery stores open from January 1st; however, long time ago they didn't open during oshogatu. Because people couldn't get foods, they start making foods for shougatsu. " The foods in osechi box is not easily rotten. In the box, there are grilled scallops(hotate), fish sausage(kamaboko), tsukudani(chicken, carrot, and burdock etc..), herring roe(kazunoko) and so on. All most all foods are Japanese traditional foods. This picture is my lunch on January 1st. I had a part time job on that day, so I brought this there. I ate osechi for 3 times. I don't want to eat this any more now.
