New Year’s Dishes On New Year’s Day, we usually ear special New Year’s Dishes, called “Osechi”. It has may meanings. One of them, we prepare it before New Year’s Day, because it can last a couple of days, and house wives can be set free from house work for a few days from New Year’s Day. Each family made it at home many years ago, but now we usually buy it at a department store or supermarket. Because it takes a lot of time. We can see many advertisements about “osechi” everywhere, everyday after Christmas Day. It looks good, but its taste is not very good. However, it is expensive. I might as well go to a sushi restaurant as buy it at a store.
