Japanese-style New Year feast by Yumi Kosaka. Roll your own maki sushi!

The other photo shows the preparation for thanks and blessings for a prosperous, healthy, and safe New Year.

Mochi (pounded rice cakes), Mikan (oranges), Nihonshu (sake), and candles. Our genkan, or foyer, is blessed, each of our home offices is blessed, as is our vehicle.
