OSECHI TRADITIONAL NEW YEAR JAPANESE CUISINE

by Yumi


You now know what Japanese people do to celebrate Christmas on the Eve. Couples spend time together and families order KFC. I wrote about it in the previous article.

So what do Japanese people eat on New Years? New years celebration is generally bigger than Christmas in Japan, and people usually go back to their home to spend time with their family.

Many Japanese people eat “Osechi” to celebrate the New Year with the family. We used to go to my dad’s parents’ home for the New Year and my mom and grandmother prepared Osechi together. It was delicious.

Osechi is a traditional Japanese cuisine people eat on New Years. Usually it is pepared at the end of a year and family get together and eat Osechi together during the first three days of the New year.
