Osechi

Osechi are traditional Japanese New Year foods.

These are in special boxes called jubako, which looks like lunch boxes.

The dishes of Osechi have a special meaning to celebrate the New Year and to wish for our health.

For example, Kuromame is a kind of beans, and has the meaning to work harder.

It is interesting that each food has a special meaning.
