Good Bye 2011, and Hello 2012! I love this New Year's Holiday season so much, because it is the only time that I can cook Japanese traditional New Year's dishes =) The special meal for the holiday called "Osechi" is very creative, and each one of the food has specific meaning and wishes. For instance, Steamed bended Shrimp images an old men bent with age, and it wishes to live long. If you want to make whole set of the Osechi it might take 3 to 5 days, so I made a part of it.
The dish above is called "Toshi Koshi Soba"(Year-end Soba). It is also a custom food in Japan, and I personally like soba with shrimp tempura so I had a Tempura soba.
