On New Year's Day, we have special New Year foods called Osechi. Again, there are many variations of Osechi. The interesting thing is that each Osechi dish has a special meaning such as wishing someone a long life, happiness, wealth, good health and so on. If you are interested, click here for more details.This photo was taken on New Year's Day in 2003, when my husband and I went back to Okinawa. Most of the dishes in the photo are typical Osechi, although yakitori and the dish on the blue plate are not. We also had a soup called Nakami-jiru(with pig's intestines) which are commonly eaten on special occasions in Okinawa. We really enjoyed the Osechi which my mum prepared.
