new years eve

Thought I'd give you a little peek into New Years Eve, Hawaii style (well, Japanese American style).

We start off with this...kasane mochi (stacked rice cakes) to pray for a good year.

And a homemade kadomatsu.

Some of this.

A little nishime.

Baked ribs.

Kuromame (black beans).

Some tako (octopus) with su-miso (vinegary miso).

Inarizushi (cone sushi).

Soba (buckwheat noodles).

Chinese roast duck.

Some mac-potato salad.

And at midnight, some of this.

Hope your New Years Eve was a safe and happy one.

    Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! Everything looks great :o)

    We're about to have a little (as in not EVERYTHING) Japanese New Year's meal too- some kamaboko, kurikinton, and mochi!
