He talked about ozoni and rice cake. Rice cake has been eaten since the Heian period, but since it became cheaper in the Edo period, it has been eaten by the general people. Kanto eats square-shaped rice cakes, and Kansai eats round-shaped rice cake. It is dangerous if you do not eat slowly. I thought it was interesting to talk using gestures.
2. Fuka Inomoto
She talked about rice cake. It is said that you can benefit from good health and longevity by offering rice cakes to God. Mochi is used for ozoni and shiruko. It has a square shape in the Kanto region and a circle shape in the Kansai region. I thought it was interesiting to talk using Power Point.

White miso ozoni is eaten in Kyoto prefecture. Kinako zoni is eaten in Nara prefecture and is sweet. In Tottori prefecture, ozoni similar to zenzai is eaten. I thought it was interesiting that many ozoni that I had never eaten were introduced.

In Korea, we eat a dish called Tokuku, which contains rice cakes and vegetables. Eushen and pineapple tarts are eaten in Singapore. In Italy, we eat Lentissier, and in Hong Kong, we eat Hong Kong Tanwen, a red and white rice cake. I thought it was intreresting that in some countries, not only food but also sweets are eaten as a celebration of the New Year.

There are Isobe-yaki, which is wrapped in glue, oshiruko, which is eaten with soup containing sweet azuki beans, and kinako mochi, which is eaten with kinako. There are also zunda mochi that can be eaten in the Tohoku region and natto mochi that is eaten by people who like natto.

The red bowl contains seaweed and boiled eggs, the black bowl contains chicken and pork, and the other bowl contains sashimi. In Amami, we eat it with shochu. I thought it was interesitng that there are areas in Japan where non-osechi dishes are traditionally eaten.

Mandu, which resembles dumplings, John, Japchae, which is a Korean-style tempura, and kalbi-jjim, which has three different flavors, are eaten.
