皆様、明けましておめでとうございます!旧年中はお世話 になり、ありがとうございました。今年も宜しくお願いし ます。
さて、日本のお正月の行事を紹介します。まず、大晦日に は、長寿を祈って、年越しそばを頂きます。元旦には、縁 起の良い食材を使い、綺麗に盛り付けられたおせち料理を 用意します。全てが美味しく頂きました。(*^^*) そして、お餅が入った味噌汁、お雑煮の作り方を教えて貰 って、皆で頂きました。食べた後には、神社へ初詣でに行 きます。日本で生活する上で、これからも日本の文化、習 慣をもっと学んで、楽しもうと思います。(*^^*)
Happy new year everyone! Let me tell you how the Japanese people celebrate the new year. They usually prepare special dishes called osechi ryori on the first day. Osechi ryori are packed in a jubako box which has several layers. Each dish has a particular meaning such as prawns for long life, herring roe for fertility, and so on. It is also traditional to eat mochi or rice cake dishes on the first day of the year. In fact, I learned how to make the Ozouni or the rice cake soup which is the most popular mochi dish. I also went to the temple like the Japanese people do. The first visit to a temple or shrine is called 'hatsumoude'. This is the way I celebrate new year here. how about you? Let's bring it on this 2014!
