Celebrate Japanese New Year with our delicious collection of Osechi recipes!

We’re getting close to the end of this year!
In Japan, we welcome the Gods on New Year’s Day to pray for an abundant harvest and for the safety of the family in the new year. It is customary to prepare dishes for the Gods on New Year’s Eve and enjoy the meal on New Year’s Day with the whole family. This meal is called “Osechi / Osechi Ryori”.

There are many ingredients used in the osechi dishes, and each ingredient or dish has meanings that are considered good luck or that hold wishes. Usually, these dishes are served beautifully in three-layer lacquer bento boxes, but recently, as more families are becoming smaller, more people are serving the osechi dishes on individual plates or on trays and a simpler form of osechi is becoming more popular.
At JJ Kitchen’s osechi lesson, you will learn how to make easy & delicious osechi dishes and how to plate them nicely!

ワンプレートおせち料理

いよいよ年の瀬。
日本の家庭では元旦に神様を迎えし、新しい年の豊作と家族の安寧を祈りますが、その際に神様をおもてなしするための料理を大晦日に作ってお供えし、年が明けると家族全員でいただくと言う風習があります。
それがおせち料理です。

おせち料理を構成する具材はたくさんあり、それぞれに縁起の良い意味や願いが込められています。料理は大体の場合、3段の重箱に美しく盛り付けますが、最近は小家族化も進み、重箱に入れないでワンプレートやお盆に盛り付けるシンプルなおせちも流行っています。
JJ Kitchenのおせち料理レッスンでは、お手軽でおいしいおせち料理の作り方と、おしゃれにプレートに盛り付け飾る方法を紹介します！
