Posted by Laura Hasegawa Photo 1/2: Ozoni I had given up on the idea of eating rice cakes for New Year's because of the self-restraint measures in place when I was living in a new town, but then a couple I know came by and delivered some rice cakes that the husband's 85-year-old father had pounded. The ozoni and natto mochi I made with the rice cakes I was so grateful to receive were very special! --
