| なます / Námású |
Happy New Year to you!!
I have made なます / Námású with Táí, / sea bream for one of the New Year food as red and white resembles Médétáí / HAPPY in Japanese. Also, Tái / sea bream for MédéTáí / happy.
It takes a few days to make it. Actually, it takes a few days to make 昆布締め / Kóbújímé which would be sliced and mixed with marinated sliced Japanese radish and carrot.
By the way, traditionally, in Japan, we take spring water at 00:00 on 1st, January. We call the water Wáká-mízú which means the First water in the year. We cook one of the New Year food, Ozôní which is soup with rice cake with Wáká-mízú. It is believed if you eat food which is cooked with the water, you would be able to have healthy, and happy one year. Every prefecture has its own Ozôní.
And also, we adjust time on clock / watch. Although sadly most people do NOT know on this traditional Japanese custom anymore...
Well, I hope you enjoy New Year's Day!! (*^^)v
I would be happy if you would share your country's traditional New Year activities with us. Thank you!
Best wishes for the Happy and healthy New Year to you, your family, and your friends,
