My grandparents came over from Okinawa long ago, so I've never had the traditional Japanese foods like kazunoko or onozi. The only "good-luck" food I've had is Pig's feet soup!! I always eat a big bowl of that after midnight. Doesn't prevent the hangover however haha.

There are tons of regular foods however at the family get-together. And since one of my cousin's married a half-Chinese guy, we now get Chinese-style steamed Red fish as one of the dishes :) Luckily for me, nobody else wants to eat the eyeballs! Hehe

Maybe I will try to be like you and channel Goro-san tonight also!!
