soba and osechi

On 31th of Dec, my family went to Japanese restaurant. I ate Japanese noodle "soba". It is common to eat "soba" in Japan and it is called "Toshikoshi soba".Toshikoshi soba is traditionally eaten for New Year's celebrations. The long noodles are wishes for long life.


After having a lunch, my mother started to prepare traditional Japanese New Year foods "Osechi" and I helped her. I made the ham of the chicken.

This is Japanese vegetable "Komatsuna".

I brought this from my home to give it for my parent. I picked them to make "Ohitashi" of Komatsuna.

When it was a time of dinner, we ate "Ohitashi" of Komatsuna.
