Real-world information

Real life image of osechi.

In Japan, osechi-ryōri (御節料理/お節料理?) or simply known as osechi (おせち?) are a traditional Japanese food served during Shōgatsu (or the Japanese New Year). The name originated from o-sechi, meaning season or period. Osechi is served in jūbako, or tiered boxes, with different dishes present in each one. Common dishes include daidai, datemaki, ebi, and a grilled lobster. osechi was originally developed during the Heian period of Japan, when it was taboo to cook meals using a hearth except for zōni during the first three days of the New Year. osechi would be cooked before the New Year and then eaten over those three days of no cooking. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
