If you happen to be in Japan over this New Year's holiday season, one of the things you may be interested in trying is traditional Osechi ryori お節料理 (Osechi cuisine). These are special dishes, usually served in a square box, often a lacquered jubako tray, which are intended to celebrate the New Year. These dishes are either made with luxury ingredients (top-tier seafood items such as shrimp, crab or lobster) or are considered auspicious because they symbolize long life, family happiness and bountiful harvest.
Unless you are fortunate enough to spend New Year's Day with a Japanese family, the only way to try Osechi cuisine as a foreign visitor is either to order it through a convenience store or department store, or to order it online in advance. You can order big platters which may feed 3 or 4 people, but if you want to feed a large group, you'll need to place several orders, which may be complicated and take time.
The Perfect Solution For a Luxurious New Year's Party
Do you live in Japan or plan on visiting with a large group over the New Year's period? If you're not on a shoestring budget, here's something new to try:
You can organize a very special and fancy party centered on Osechi cuisine for a group of 20 to 30 people with just one step, through Amazon.co.jp.
