Our Osechi for this new year. The jubako (layered box) features cranes which symbolises a fruitful year.
The baby of the house has her own osechi as well (thank you for the thoughtfulness, Obaachan! 🙂 ) Featuring the Anpanman cartoon series characters that’s popular among children here in Japan.
As one would suppose, each of the dish included in Oseshi has its own meaning. Read here for the symbology of some of the dishes!
What’s ‘osechi’, Marj? Ang gaganda nung laman sa loob hehe parang ang hirap kainin (especially Yui’s!) – sayang!
Osechi is the traditional Japanese “handa” during New Year. And true, parang nakakahinayang kainin kasi so pretty! Pero mas nakakahinayang Hindi kainin kasi it’s so delicious Leah!! 🙂 Japanese sweets and delicacies really look so pretty.
