Today Aoba Admin would like to introduce a food item that the Japanese eat together with the celebration of the new year. It is osechi ryori.
In the olden days, osechi ryori was served as an offering to the gods during various seasonal festivals.
In a typical osechi ryori, it consists of a variety of dishes such as the sweet black beans, seasoned herring roe and cooked root vegetables.

1) Raw Abalone
ReplyDelete2) A dish consisting of raw fish and vegetables such as carrots and lettuce, all topped with grounded peanuts, honey and crackers. This dish is also ridiculously expensive.
By the way, I have heard of this Osechi Ryori and may i ask if it is true that it is traditionally made to be very salty?
And cool site!!
