New Year's Preparations (12/30/12)


Hi everybody,

It’s almost New Year’s here in Japan. And that means lots of preparation for the new year! Let's make the new year a great beginning!

First it we have to make mochi (sweet rice cake)!











Then we have to go shopping for a big dinner. One of the key parts of New Year’s dinner is tai (sea bream?). It’s a traditional fish that you serve at celebration times or “omedetai" (special, celebratory).

Kaimono shiyou (let's go shopping!)!
Tomorrow, New Year’s Eve, we will stay up and listen for the ringing in of the New Year! Best wishes to everyone!

Anyone want a fish for a gift?
