I visited my cousin and his family for the New Year.
Most of people eat osechi, traditional New Years food, New's Day morning.
Actually, many Japanese took many hours to cook osechi on December 30 and 31.
We had 'osechi', New Year's Food on New Year's Eve, because the osechi dishes which my cousin purchased from his habitual Sushi restaurant looked so good.
We can't wait until New Year's Day.
Various kinds of beautifully prepared dishes are set in three-tiered lacquer boxes.

Tuna sashimi, big shrimp, abalone, crabs, herring roe, salmon roe, Japanese omelette and lotus root...
Another traditional New Year's dish is zoni, soup containing mochi, vegetables and other ingredients such as chicken or seafood.
