Osechi (153)

We have traditional New Year's Food called "Osechi" in Japan.

I buy Osechi at a supermarket every year.

This year, I bought a three layer boxes of Osechi.

There were many kinds of dishes in each box, and each dish was put in a small container.

I loved some of them, but there were some I didn't enjoy.

Most of them are traditional old fashioned food that have been passed down for a long time, but some of them are really tasty.

Those New Year's Food are called Osechi.

I want to try to explain one of them in my next entry.


日本には「おせち」という伝統的なお正月の食べ物があります。

私は、おせちを毎年お店で買います。

今年は、三段の箱のおせちを買いました。

いろいろな種類の料理がそれぞれの箱に入っていて、一つ一つの料理は小さな入れ物に入っていました。

私は、その中のいくつかは大好きなんですが、でもあまり好きじゃないものもありました。

ほとんどの料理は昔から受け継がれて来ている古臭い伝統的な料理ですが、すごくおいしいものもあります。

そのようなお正月料理全部をおせちと言います。

その中の一つを次の投稿で説明してみたいです。

One single 3-layer box? Or 3 layers as in a stack or pile of boxes?

This year, I bought a three layer boxes of Oseboxes of Osechi with three layers eachi. This year, I bought boxes of Osechi with three layers each.

When talking about a plural noun, eg: "boxes", I feel like it's most natural to use a relative clause after the noun

The plural of food is foods. It's a little odd, so might not be immediately obvious when to talk about food (collective) or multiple distinct foods. If you're talking about in general, use "food", but if you are talking about multiple kinds of food (like here), then "foods" is appropriate

You can't actually pass down the food itself (that gives people the impression of "Here is my grandmother's old baguette" and handing someone some moldy bread), but you can pass down e.g. the recipes.
