As some of you will know, I am originally from Australia, but living in Japan. Every year we go to our inlaws' place for New Year.
On New Year's eve, we usually play cards, drink a bit, watch some kickboxing (you know, the usual).
But on New Year's Day we have Osetchi Ryori (おせち料理). Usually this means a lot of cooking and preparation, but this year everyone was too lazy (sorry, busy) for that, so we bought it instead.
Osetchi has a history that, according to Wikipedia (What? I'm hung over...don't expect me to do a lot of research right now...) goes back to the Heian period. The traditional dishes are served in boxes that look a lot like large bento boxes. They're known as jūbako (重箱).
These were all delicious and we'll definitely be looking this company up again in the future (cause ain't nobody got time for that!).
After this we will be heading to a temple for good luck in the new year and going to fly kites (not a Japanese tradition on New Year, but a family one). Hope you all have a great New Year in 2018.
