Japanese Winter

I will explain Japanese winter. Winter is the coldest season as you know. There are some events in Japanese winter for example Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, and Valentine’s Day and so on. I introduce two things of them.

First, New Year’s Eve is called oomisoka in Japan. Most Japanese eat soba so as to be lucky year on the night of the day. If soba is left, the next year becomes bad. We can see this custom around Japan. Let’s eat soba without leaving it.

Second, we send New Year’s card with congratulatory words and graces on New Year’s Day. It is the same as Christmas card of your country custom. And we eat mochi which made from glutinous rice and osechi which is a collection of many foods on New Year’s Day.There are other many attractive points in Japanese winter. You should try to find them.
