Each dish and ingredient in osechi has meanings, such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, and long life.

Traditional Osechi-Ryori is very sweet. Because Osechi-Ryori for 3days, add sugar can be keep longer.

This is the Macrobiotic style Osechi-Ryori. So I didn’t add much Sweetener like a traditional style.
