The Japanese celebrate the New Year Day with traditional New Year foods called Osechi Ryori (おせち料理). It is considered the most important meal of the year as each dish serves as well-wishes for the coming year. What is Osechi Ryori? Similar to bento boxes, Osechi Ryori is usually packed in 2-3 layers of lacquer boxes (ojubako) and there are many dishes in each layer. The entire family would share one ojubako to enjoy on New Year’s Day....

A belly full of hot oshiruko always warmed me up on a chilly day. I now live where the climate is cool much of the year, so I’m happy that I can enjoy this nostalgic and cozy dessert year-round....
