Shin-nen Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! (Happy New Year! in Japanese) We could’ve gone all out and made “osechi”, a very traditional bento/meal for a new year with 16 different dishes, but it’s very time consuming and can cost a lot since I have to get many ingredients at a Japanese supermarket… and I’m lazy.
