Some osechi sets are very expensive, 20,000-30,000 yen or even higher. <br /><br />Yes, Niigata is a very popular destination for many skiers!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-83862397558444121202015-01-11T08:47:41.390+09:002015-01-11T08:47:41.390+09:00あけましておめでとうございます。今年も宜しくお願いします!

Each food item has a specific meaning. Do the osechi come in a set or you can pick and choose?<br />Niigata must be a popular place for skiers with the large amount of snowfall. My home-stayed students from last summer are going on a ski trip in Niigata.okasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260327403036041094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-83909786586086091342015-01-07T15:37:02.246+09:002015-01-07T15:37:02.246+09:00Kiki: あけましておめでとうございます! 今年もよろしくお願いします。

I hope you enjoy some of them during your next trip to Japan!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-38593021250565171792015-01-06T07:16:08.147+09:002015-01-06T07:16:08.147+09:00Happy New Year, Hiroyuki!

You know that nothing you post seems humble to us, Japanese cuisine lovers; and anyway, as other visitors have already said, what we appreciate about your blog is the everyday food style (on the other hand, I often envy you a lot even everyday meals, at least from the point of view of ingredients I can only dream of!). <br /><br />I'm very curious about the sake... I must say that during my trips to Japan I was very shy about drinking sake because I don't know much about it... I know I prefer dry sake (like dry wine), but I wouldn't be able to appreciate without learning more. Maybe next time I go to Japan! Meanwhile I keep on buying shochu... much easier to appreciate (though not cheap here alas).

I agree with Laura - I always find your blog so comforting, like I am really sharing some Japanese family life - like an online 'home stay' :)<br />I hope the snow has cleared away a bit - here in southwest Australia it has never so snowed, so for me your photos look quite marvellous! It is going to be 39 degrees Celsius here today so your photos make me feel cool ;)<br />Happy New Year to you and your family and I look forward to sharing your humble stories for a long time to come.Catenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-13339689893897930822015-01-03T06:40:18.737+09:002015-01-03T06:40:18.737+09:00Nona: Thanks for your comment.

As I'm reading these posts, I get a calm and comforting feeling, as if I was keeping in touch with an old friend: discussing sake or preparing mushrooms for everyday dishes. I love Japan, but I've only briefly lived in Tokyo, and my experience about everyday life in other cities - with a family - are rather non-existent. I'm glad I found this blog and hope you have the time to share a glimpse of your life in 2015 as well. Excuse me for not commenting earlier and Happy New Year!<br /><br />- LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
