Good bye 2024, hello 2025!

I forgot to post about new years, and since we’re entering into the lunar new year… Happy new year everyone, 明けましておめでとうございます!(akemash*te, omedetougozaimasu).

~I wish you all another year of good health, success and overall happiness~

I celebrated the new year - Japanese style 🇯🇵 with a new years feast called “お節” (Osechi) (from for $99). Usually I’m in Japan for the festivities, but recently I haven’t gone back during this time of year. So I’m glad I can still enjoy my favourites even at home🎍

Did you know that in Japan, most businesses close for a few days after new years to celebrate with family? (And yes, lots of sake is consumed lol)

🎍Most items symbolize good fortune for the new year and are served in lacquer boxes (お重/oju):
•datemaki (伊達巻): sweet omelette with fish = education
•kuri kinton (栗きんとん): candied chestnuts = economic fortune and wealth
•tazukuri (田作り):candied sardines =bountiful harvest
•kuromame (黒豆): sweet black soybeans = health
•kazunoko (数の子): herring roe = prosperous family and offsprings
•gobou (ごぼう):burdock root =good luck
•konbu maki (昆布巻き): Kombu kelp roll = youthful and long life
•kamaboko (かまぼこ): fish cakes = red and white colour symbolizes happiness, purity and new entry to the new year
•ebi (海老): shrimp = wish for long life
•nishime (煮しめ): Simmered vegetables in light soy broth = good fortune
•mochi (お餅): rice cake = energy for new beginnings, longevity, prosperity and strong family unit
•ozoni (おぞうに): mochi soup eaten for 3 days=prosperity and well being for the year ahead

If you’re craving affordable Japanese food, this spot is for you!

There’s a hidden gem in the West End of downtown Vancouver that’s been around for over 20 years. Although the owners aren’t Japanese, I can say they’re one of the better ones who can bring out traditional Japanese flavours (even my mom was surprised). In this economy, their price point for their quality food items were impressive 👌🏻 Cold “somen” noodles are my go-to summer dish to cool me down, so I loved how this dish was served in a ice bowl 🧊 and their “kaiseki bento” had just the right amount of different dishes that were fun to explore 😋 Def check out their summer items for a limited time!

What we got:
•Kaiseki bento $46 (12 items: Negitoro Roll, 2 Kinds of Sashimi (Salmon Toro, red tuna), Tuna Salsa, Gomae, Chawan Mushi, Agedashi Mochi, Ebi Mayo, Pumpkin croquette, Lime Soba, Salmon Oshi, Fruit, Almond Pudding)
•Cold somen noodles $17 (Cold Noodles, Egg, Snow Crab, Ebi, Shiitake Mushrooms)
•Sukiyaki $32 (Sliced Beef, Tofu, Glass Noodles, Mushrooms, Veggies, Sweet & Salty Soy Sauce, Milk, Raw Egg)
•Unagi Roll with black rice
•Mocktails $6.50 (blueberry and lychee)
