HAPPY NEW YEAR! ✿ This is Airi!
Today, we would like to introduce about Japanese New Year Holiday! ★ミ★ミ
In Japan, we have a custom of eating "Osechi Ryouri" (Japanese New Year Food) with family on New Year's Day.
The picture is "Osechi Ryouri" which my mother made. (Not so gorgeous this year...)
We also ate "Ozouni"(お雑煮) but toppings and tastes vary from region to region.
"Ozouni" my mother made was Kyoto style which is using White Miso(白味噌) and Japanese red Kintoki carrot(金時人参) so the soup is very white and cloudy like Tonkotsu Soup. ♥
However, in Kanto region, "Ozouni" is using Japanese clear soup like Osuimono(お吸い物) and it is totally different from Kyoto's one.
In Tottori Prefecture, it is said that people eat "Zenzai"(ぜんざい) as Ozouni on New Year's Day.(I can't believe that!)
It is very interesting that there are big differences from region to region! ^^♩♫♩♫
During New Year Holiday, we used to play with "Fukuwarai", "Takoage" and "Karuta" with my cousins and brother when we were children.☄☄☄
Those are Japanese traditional games, but I am wondering if current children know how to play with them recently.
On January 2nd, I went to "Fushimiinari Taisha" for "Hatsumoude"(初詣). ⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩
We Japanese call the first visit to the shrines or temples, "Hatsumoude", and do it as a tradition.
I took a fortune slip and it said "good luck after bad luck ✸ " so I do not know if it is good or bad. Lol
And then, as the fortune slip told me, from the next day, I got the cold and had a high fever for 3 days(bad luck came to me soon),
so I think that good luck is getting close to me, maybe!Lol
Please take care not to catch cold and flu!!! ★

Airiです!新年あけましておめでとうございます✿
本年も京都アパートメントを宜しくお願い致します!
皆さんは、どのようなお正月を過ごされましたか?★ミ★ミ
今回のブログは海外の方へ向けての内容となりますが、
日本のお正月には、家族そろって「お節料理」を食べる習慣があります。
お雑煮も頂きましたが、お雑煮って、地方によって全く味や具が違うんですよね~!
井口家のお雑煮は、京都ならではの白みそと金時人参を使った京風のお雑煮です♥
しかし関東では、京都とはまったく違って、和風だしを使った透き通ったお雑煮を食べられるようです。
なんと鳥取では、「ぜんざい」をお雑煮として食べるとか、、、?!(美味しそうだけど信じられません!)
日本の中でもこういった違いがあるのは面白いですね~^^♩♫♩♫
お正月と言えば、小さい頃は親戚の子供たちと一緒に、
「福笑い」「凧あげ」「かるた」など色々と遊んだものです☄☄☄
これらは日本の昔から伝わる遊びなのですが、今の子供たちは凧あげとかするんでしょうかね?
一体何して遊ぶんでしょうか?Nintendo Switchとか?
1月2日は、かの有名な、伏見稲荷大社へ行ってきました!⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩
日本では年明けに初めて神社へお参りすることを「初詣」と言います。
おみくじを引きましたが、「凶のち吉✸」という、何とも微妙な結果でした。笑
そして、おみくじが的中したかのように、その翌日から3日間高熱が出ましたが(すぐに不運が)、
きっと、これは幸運が私に近づいているということなんだと信じています!笑
皆さん、風邪やインフルエンザなど気を付けてくださいね!★
