Spending New Year in Japan? Try "Osechi"! Japanese traditional special dish to celebrate New Year!

“Osechi” is one of “Washoku” traditional Japanese cuisine. “Washoku” was added to UNESCO’s Intangilbe Cultural Heritage list in 2013. “Osechi” is the special traditional dish for the New Year’s Day. We also call it “osechi-ryori”. Its dishes are packed beautifully in layers of lacquer boxes called “jubako”. The kinds of osechi-ryori dishes prepared at Japanese homes vary from region to region. Traditionally people finish preparing osechi dishes by New Year’s Eve so that they have food for a couple of days. Each dish that makes up osechi-ryori has a special meaning such as good luck, happiness , health, wealthy, long life, good harvest, prosperity, and so on.

You can cook and eat this "Osechi-Ryori" in Washokujyu Sakura anytime of the year! If you are planning you...
