Osechi are Japanese New Year's dishes that are specially prepared to be eaten during the first three days of January.
Most dishes in Osechi are cooked in order to be preserved for at least 3 days.
This is because it was believed that TOSHIGAMI(=God celebrated at the beginning of New Year) comes and stay in our house in first 3 days of January and we should not use kitchen during Toshigami's stays.
It is also said this is because women don't have to cook during that period.
Osechi contains various kinds of beautifully-prepared dishes that are set in boxes.
The well-worker Japanese will take day off on first 3 days of January. Most restaurant are closed for the new Year.
If you want to spend the New Year like Japanese people, Please eat Osechi and Thank God.
