New Year in Japan

In a cute little guesthouse at the edge of Nagasaki I got the chance to celebrate a typical Japanese New Years.
We ate soba, chicken and had lots of sake before going to the temple around midnight. There we got chocolate, a calendar, a peace of paper to write our new years resolution and even more sake before we had to ring a bell. The next morning the owners if the guesthouse prepared soup with mochi (Ozoni) and we ate interesting Osechi. My first New Year in Japan was so much fun!!もっと詳しく
