Osechi-ryori are special side dishes eaten on the first three days of the new year.A tiered lacquer box is abundantly loaded with multi-hued side dishes, grilled or boiled dishes and vinegared dishes. It appears that present-day osechi-ryori was developed with the particular practice of keeping it as is for a while, because it is splendid to look at, and also out of consideration for reducing housewives' work for three days, so it's eaten cold.
There are some regional differences but osechi contents are essentially fixed. Those contents are respectively charged with wishes: for example, sea bream(tai) is "auspicious"(medetai), herring roe(kazu no ko) indicates "the prosperity for one's descendants", and sea tangle roll(kobu maki) means "happiness"(yorokobu).
