Here's A Quick Way To Discover Japanese New Year Food

Should You try Japanese New Year Food?

New Year celebrations in Japan have typical dishes.

Special Japanese desserts,
unique Japanese cakes
and a magical soup
that helps you digest all that extra Traditional Japanese Foods.

Read on as I introduce you to one of the most exciting Traditional Japanese Festivals.


Mochi – a Typical Japanese New Year Food

The Japanese starts the day on New Year's with Japanese Mochi-a yummy cake made from rice flour, chestnuts, green tea and bean paste.

I'm just hooked for it, so don't miss the chance to taste it.

Some More Special Dishes For Japanese New Year

Another Typical New Year food in Tokyo is a soup called Ozôni.

It's made from Miso, boiled seaweed, fish cakes, mashed sweet potato with chestnut and sweetened black soybeans.

Osechi-Ryôri is another typical dish. There are many variations of Osechi, depending on the region of Japan you are visiting.


Very much like New year's or Christmas in other countries, it's very hard not to exaggerate with food during Japanese New Year.

To help the overworked stomach, there's a special seven-herb rice soup, which does wonders for the digestion.

I hope you liked this page on typical traditional Japanese foods!
