Osechi for New Year's

Osechi ryori, specially prepared Japanese foods to celebrate New Year's Day. Due to the convenience of supermarkets today, most can be bought ready-to-eat. Very different from when mom spent all day and night on the Eve preparing it. Many items have special meaning and are only available during this time. iPhone 4.1. CR-499
