Almost forgot about the New Year's Party we had at our house!
We made the
Osechi (traditional Japanese New Year's feast, served in a laquered box... a very strange concept from American viewpoint. A feast that can fit into a 12"x12"x12" box??) and
Ozouni, a clear soup with veggies and mochi.
Iridori: shiitake, taro roots, carrots, burdock root, konnyaku, and chicken braised in dashi.
Kombu-maki: kombu/kelp-wrapped salmon braised in dashi
Clockwise from top left:
Namasu (daikon & carrot slaw),
date-maki (Japanese rolled omelet), and
kinton (creamed chestnut & sweet yam)
...And this was our "dessert": Various condiments for freshly-made mochi. Sweet adzuki paste, black sesame, and kinako.
