New Year’s in Japan is full of exciting traditions! Businesses usually close, and families gather to attend shrines, eat special cuisine called osechi-ryori, make mochi (included in this month’s box!) and send nengajo, special New Year’s cards. Adult relatives even give children money in otoshidama (small envelopes.

For this month, we’re celebrating the new year in the Kanto region. It encompasses seven prefectures and a third of Japan’s total population! We’re bringing you delicious Japanese snacks to ring in the new year right, from rice crackers shaped like the good luck dolls daruma, to celebratory yellow cakes and cookies made with Shonan Gold citrus.
