My mother prepared this special meal for my New Year's visit. Each dish is filled with memories:

• Salmon Yuan-yaki (Citrus-marinated grilled salmon)

• Beef & Burdock Shigure-ni (Ginger-soy simmered beef)

• Kohaku Namasu (Pickled radish & carrot - a symbol of happiness! ????)

• Homemade Karaage (Crispy Japanese fried chicken)

• Miso Soup with Nameko & Grilled Leek (Soothing and aromatic ????)

The mountains outside were freezing, but this meal made my heart (and stomach!) so warm. ✨
