ozoni in nabe

Every New Year's Day morning, my mother makes ozoni for our family. Her's is a shoyu-based soup with mirin in which she puts tofu, nappa, mizuna, carrots, and daikon...and, of course, mochi!

This year, she prepared everything, then brought it over to my new home to finish cooking. We enjoyed ozoni in my new dining room. It made it even more special.
