Hi, I try to introduce my favorite holiday.
My favorite holiday is New Year. People call it Osyogatsu in Japan. Do you know the day? Its period is until Jurnually 31. The first day is called gantan. Osyogatsu is special day in Japan. My relatives or my brothers gather in a parent' home. The home becomes very cheerful. My parents or grandparents give me otosidama. Otosidama is money which they gave their children as congratulation. I really applicant them. By using them, I go shopping with family and buy many things. Because there are many sales, I use amount money for shopping.
I usually eat osechi or ozouni then. Osechi is cooking which are packed varieties foods in the box. There are kuromame or datemaki. For three days, we have to eat osechi for my mother does not have to do housekeeping. So I can feel a mother's kindness. Ozouni is soup containing rice cake. It is very delicious for me. In my hometown rice cake contains anko. Many people call it anmotizouni. Many people who are not from my hometown usually surprise, but it is very delicious. I want you to eat them. In my house, I make a lot of mochi with my family. It is routine occurrence. I usually make about 2 kilograms. Because I eat too much mochi, I grow fat.
New Year is very fun for me!!!!
Wow those three bento's look very delicious!! I wish we had those in Hawaii. My family also celebrates oshogatsu. However, we do not receive otoshidama. Do you make the mochi by pounding it with a wooden hammer? Our family also likes making mochi too! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!
