As is the case every year, Ikumi and I went back to her hometown in Hanawa (near Morioka) to spend the New Year’s. We also don’t like the traditional food so much and therefore improvised. I prepared: scallop and crab with ginger sauce; bak kuh teh (Singaporean soup-like dish filled with pork ribs and garlic); and diced almond chicken stir fry. Ikumi made salmon carpaccicio; deep fried renkon (lotus root) sandwiches; and some pickled veggies.

Of course, NYE wouldn’t be the same without alcohol and Mr. Nutcracker!
