Happy New Year!
New Year in my Japanese household means one thing: ozoni time.
Ozoni is a mochi soup with clams and mizuna, a leafy green, in a fish-broth dashi, or broth, and of course mochi! It's definitely what comes to mind when I think of comfort food. Ozoni is one of my favorite things to eat yet I only get to eat it in during the first couple of weeks of the new year, or as long as we have mochi in the house (which in my household isn't very long). Eating ozoni is meant to bring good health during the new year and cleanse your body to ready it for the year to come. I hope you and your families have a great new year!
