During December and January, there are a series of events: the winter solstice, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The dishes eaten during these events are meant to celebrate and wish for the happiness and health of the family.
[Winter Solstice]
The winter solstice is the time of year when the daylight hours are shortest and the weather is cold, making it easy to catch a cold. Therefore, we warm ourselves by taking a yuzu bath, which is believed to ward off evil spirits, and eat pumpkin, which can be stored for a long time and is rich in vitamins and minerals, to prevent colds.
[New Year's Eve Soba Noodles]
This dish is as thin and long as soba (buckwheat), a good luck charm to wish for longevity and happiness for a long time. It also means to break off misfortune. It can be served with shrimps, chicken or vegetables for a good nutritional balance.
[Osechi ryori]
Originally, Osechi ryori was served on the first day of the year （ January 7 ）, the first snake （ March 3 ）, the Dragon Boat （ May 5 ）, Tanabata （ July 7 ）, Chou-you September 9 ）, but the most important New Year's dishes are now called "osechi ryori".
When welcoming the New Year's gods, people refrain from boiling and cooking food, and the dishes are designed to taste good even when cold so that the cook can take a rest during the New Year's holiday.
Each Osechi dish has its own meaning.
●Kuromame (black soybeans) ： Wishing for a healthy and prosperous life
●Tazukuri (rice seasoning) ： A good harvest
●Suzuko (baby sardines) ： Prosperity of offspring
●Kinton (sweet potatoes) ： Wishing for good fortune
【Ozoni】
Ingredients, soup stock, and the shape of mochi (rice cakes) vary from region to region. Ingredients are often local products, and many ingredients are used for good luck.
Depending on the region, there are various ways of eating mochi, such as square or round rice cakes, clear soup, miso soup, and azuki bean soup. ？
