Osechi derived from the word 'o-sechi' which means the season or during important in Japanese. Osechi-ryori tradition itself stems from the Heian period (794-1185 AD).

During the first 3 days at the beginning of the year, Japanese women may not use the stove and cook food in addition to zoni (soup contains moci). This is done to avoid injury or burns caused by cooking, which signifies misfortune throughout the year.

So, all dishes freshly prepared at the beginning of the year towards the end of the year. To be durable, osechi foods preserved in a way made pickles, marinated, or dried and eaten cold.

Initially, only consists of nimono osechi (steamed vegetables with soy sauce and sugar / mirin) are presented in jubako box, like a bento box. Now there are a variety of foods commonly served during the new year in Japan. Container was not always the bento box-shaped, sometimes round and have barriers, such as the sweets.

This arrangement follows osechi kanjinya meaning corresponding letters, among them:

Daidai (bitter orange): hope for children
Datemaki (egg omelet that tastes sweet rolls, mixed with minced fish and dried shrimp paste): hope for good days to come
Kamaboko (steamed fish cake red and white): similar to the Japanese flag, a symbol of celebration
Kazunoko (herring eggs): hope to have many children in the new year
Konbu (a kind of seaweed): meaningless fun
Kuromame (black soybeans): symbol of health
Kohaku-namasu (pickled radish and carrots are sliced ​​into thin strips)
Tai (red sea-bream, one type of fish): symbolizes an important event
Tazukuri (salted fish cooked with soy sauce): symbol of abundant harvest
Zoni (soup broth / miso nodes contain moci)
Ebi (shrimp cooking sake and soy sauce which pierced like kebabs)
Nishiki tamago (egg rolade): symbol of gold and silver
Traditionally, osechi made themselves at home. However, because it takes a lot of time, Japanese people are now choosing to buy osechi ready-made in supermarkets, although prices are relatively expensive.

Gelato – in Eropa ..


Gelato – in Eropa
There is one thing that always exist in almost every tourist in Europe: gelato. Ice cream is always sweet soft prima donna with a wide selection of flavors.

One of my friends from Germany said, "If you go to Italy, you have to eat gelato. Just be. "It makes me wonder, what difference is it with gelato in Jakarta?

Gelato
A few months later, I had the opportunity to visit several countries in Europe. Certainly the message my friend I did not forget, eat gelato!

In various places I visit starting from Paris, Barcelona, ​​until of course Italy, gelato is not difficult to find a seller. Price of ice cream in the bustling tourist areas ranging from 2 euros for a single scoop.



Gelato Bar
Although gelato is Italian for ice cream, many say they are different. Gelato is considered lighter because it has a milk fat content is much less than ice cream manufacturer. Well, the obvious gelato has become an interesting and tempting dish to try.

In the area around the Duomo, Milan, Italy, I found a shop that specialized in selling gelato. Because many people packed, automatically I'm also interested to enter.

In this shop I was first asked to choose a brown liquid that will be filled into the cone (whether white chocolate, etc.). After that I just choose the desired taste. In closing, I can choose what toppings you want as a complement.

Flavors of ice cream is soft and sweet immediately made me smile when tasted. If too sweet, mixed with a little bite more bitter cone. Do not be too long to spend it. Because the texture is lighter, gelato is more easily liquefied when exposed to body heat of the hand.

Gelato cartoon
Throughout my trip to several cities in Europe, almost every booth has a different taste. Starting from the general taste like chocolate and vanilla, then the various flavors of fruit, to the refined taste sweet snacks like Reese or Ferrero Rocher. Finally, I also agree with my friends, if they travel to Italy, do not forget to taste the sweetness of gelato!
