New Year Wishes

On New Year's Day and a couple of days before and after the day I always miss Japanese specialities for the special time. Making mochi (rice cakes) on December 28th, eating Soba noodles on New Year's Eve, having Ozouni (savory delicate soup with mochi) and Osechi-Ryori (traditional Japanese foods for New Year's Day, which is prepared by the day before) for breakfast on New Year's Day, and perhaps Zenzai (sweet Azuki beans soup with mochi) or some kind of mochi sweets (like the photo above, which I made a few months ago for myself) for tea time later and a Japanese pot dish with special fish in the evening... I wish to have more Japanese dishes and sweets in 2021, and a Japanese style New Year's Day in the future!
