Menu New Year 2026 

(1st January-6th January)

First Light

The new year begins softly, as if gently unfolding.
In Japanese cuisine, the New Year is welcomed not with words, but with wishes placed quietly on the plate.

On the hassun, the modest form of kuwai rests among the celebratory offerings.
Its upward-reaching芽 carries a simple yet steadfast hope—
to grow, to rise, and to open the path ahead.

Then comes ozoni, the very first bowl of the year.
From the clear broth, steam slowly rises, and within it,
carrot and turnip, light as drifting clouds,
reflect the image of the first sunrise,
emerging gently on the horizon.

New Year’s dishes mark the most auspicious day of the year.
They are filled with layers of history, tradition, and heartfelt intention.
Each element carries a quiet charm—
a wish that the year to come may be healthy, peaceful, and rich with happiness.

In every bowl, in every bite,
there lives a gentle prayer:
may this year be calm,
may light find its way to you.
