Since it was historically taboo to cook on New Year’s day, Osechi dishes are typically stewed with lots of sugar, or preserved with vinegar. There is a huge variety of dishes, each one symbolizing a wish for things like long life, wealth, joy and good fortune. The food is then meticulously plated in a 2-3 tiered lacquered box called a jubako, which the whole family eats from.
