Japanese people consume during the week of New Years.\u00a0 The most common dish consumed is a soup called ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>).\u00a0 Ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>)\u00a0soup consists of miso (<strong>\u307f\u305d<\/strong>) which is a type of Japanese paste, mashed potatoes with sweetened chestnuts called kurikinton (<strong>\u304f\u308a\u304d\u3093\u3068\u3093<\/strong>) and a type of burdock root called kinpira goboo (<strong>\u304d\u3093\u3074\u3089\u3054\u307c\u3046<\/strong>).\u00a0 Every region in Japan has a different way of making ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) soup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wingyipstore.co.uk\/pictures\/content1441\/beancurd+tofu+soft+and+firm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/>Some people like to replace miso (<strong>\u307f\u305d<\/strong>) with a clear soup stock called sumashi-jiro (<strong>\u3059\u307e\u3057\u30fc\u308b<\/strong>).\u00a0\u00a0Oftentimes ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) soups will contain mochi (<strong>\u3082\u3061<\/strong>) or rice cakes\u00a0cut into rectangles.\u00a0 Sometimes instead of mochi (<strong>\u3082\u3061<\/strong>) people prefer to put toofu (<strong>\u3068\u3046\u3075<\/strong>) instead.\u00a0 Toofu (<strong>\u3068\u304a\u3075<\/strong>) is a soft, gelatin-type bean curd mixed with soy milk.\u00a0 Ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) also contains a type of parsley called mitsuba (<strong>\u307f\u3064\u3070<\/strong>).\u00a0 As for other vegetables, it&#8217;s common to see komatsuna (<strong>\u30b3\u30de\u30c4\u30ca<\/strong>) or a type of spinach in ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) soup.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget the fruits!\u00a0 Oh yes, ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) soup can also contain a fruit called yuzu (<strong>\u3086\u305a<\/strong>).\u00a0 A yuzu (<strong>\u3086\u305a<\/strong>) looks a lot like an orange but it tastes bitter than an orange.\u00a0 Also, there&#8217;s some meat in the soup as well.\u00a0 Beef and chicken are the most common options.\u00a0 Lastly, on the very top, it&#8217;s customary to sprinkle some shichimichi (<strong>\u3057\u3061\u307f\u3061<\/strong>).\u00a0 Shichimichi (<strong>\u3057\u3061\u307f\u3061<\/strong>) can be translated as seven flavored chili pepper.\u00a0 Shichimichi (<strong>\u3057\u3061\u307f\u3061<\/strong>) contains some yuzu (<strong>\u3086\u305a<\/strong>), ginger, seasame seed, seaweed, sansho (<strong>\u3055\u3093\u3057\u3087<\/strong>), shiso (<strong>\u3057\u305d<\/strong>), and nanohana (<strong>\u306a\u306e\u306f\u306a<\/strong>).\u00a0 Sansho (<strong>\u3055\u3093\u3057\u3087<\/strong>) is a type of pepper, shiso (<strong>\u3057\u305d<\/strong>) is a type of mint leaf, while nanohana (<strong>\u306a\u306e\u306f\u306a<\/strong>) is a type of seed.<\/p>\n<p>Now, all that&#8217;s left to do is to enjoy it!\u00a0 If you want to try something that has a lot of interesting ingredients and healthy for you as well, I suggest you try some ozooni (<strong>\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b<\/strong>) soup.\u00a0 This is a one-stop dish that allows you to taste so many ingredients in one dish!\u00a0 I gotta go, but stay tuned for some more popular foods consumed during the New Years celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\ufffd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ozooni (\u304a\u305e\u3046\u306b) soup is the typical\u00a0dish Japanese people
