Osechi Ryori (Japanese traditional New Years meal)

I just wanted you out there to take a look at what I had the good fortune of eating this afternoon for lunch. It being New Years Day, my mother-in-law bought my family a beautiful Osechi Ryori to welcome in 2013.

Take a look at some of the pictures I took:

This is a great New Years tradition. New Years in Japan is the biggest holiday of the year. I suppose the importance of it would be comparable to Christmas in Canada or Thanksgiving in America.

More wonderful Japanese food

As I mentioned in my previous post, my family gave my wife and I some Osechi-ryōri 御節料理 or お節料理 to take home with us. My mother-in-law ordered it from the Sheraton Hotel in Osaka. It was amazing. You can see for yourself!
