Happy New Year, everyone! Did you spend good New Year holiday? I had delicious Ozouni, Japanese soup which we usually have for New Year holiday. Ozouni has lots of kinds depends on the religion, so I am going to introduce them. My Ozouni is Nagano prefecture style which is soy source base with square mochi, chicken and some green vegetables. I really love the simple one. On the other hand, I was fascinated by Kyoto style Ozouni. Kyoto style Ozouni is white miso base and it tastes very elegant and delicious. The y also use round mocha and sliced dried bonito, called Katsuobushi in Japanese. Every prefecture has special Ozouni except Okinawa. I would like to try each Ozouni!
