More on the birthday suit business -  yes to Nic and CC...we bare all for hot springs. If you don't like that all you need to do is wash your body super quick then jump in to the water before anyone sees you.

So back on subject, for new year the Japs eat what is called "osechi" - an assortment of foods that people prepare beforehand so that they don't need to cook during the new year and can just sit back and relax. (This is just my conclusion so don't go telling others)
Entry no.1 Tamagoyaki : Egg mixed with soup stock. Cooked like an omelette in a small rectangular pan so it gets to this shape.
Entry no.2 Kazunoko: Pickled herring eggs. I love the bubbly-ness
Entry no.3, 4 &5 Kamaboko, Yatugashira and Kombu-maki: Pureed fish cake, steamed yatugashira potatoes and seaweed-wrapped carrots

not my favorite but well-liked by the common public

Entry no.6 "the Crab" staring you in the face!

Recall that I quite enjoy being in my birthday suit. :) This food looks amazing! Not a fan of crab though... enjoy!
