Akesmashite Omedeto! Ringing in the new year, Japanese style

In the heart of her kitchen, Moe Cheshire scoops a ladle of hot broth into a bowl of mochi cakes that will be topped off with garnishes in shades of pink and green. This seaweed infused soup is called Ozoni, the first meal usually served on the first day of Oshogatsu — the Japanese New Year that takes place from Jan. 1-3.
