After forgoing the usual thing last year, this year, well it was back to heading out to get Osechi for New Year's day, much like I'd done for most years since way back when. Even excluding the "Covid years", I had noticed quite a decline in offerings over the years. So, this year, I had noticed the adjusted 8am opening time for Nijiya and got there right at 8. There was no queue of folks and I was pleasantly surprised at what seemed like more of a selection.
I quickly got a couple of things and then headed on out.
Surprisingly, Marukai had almost nothing! Regardless, we're ready for tomorrow!
And so, we're closing the books on yet another year here at mmm-yoso! I'd like to propose a toast!
Ooops....sorry for the "dad joke"!
I'd like to raise my glass and propose a toast:
"To all of you, who read our little blog. Here's wishing you all a wonderful 2024"!
Cheers - Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to the mmm-yoyo family! I'm looking forward to more fun posts in 2024.

Happy New Year. Breaks my heart reading about what's going on in Noto Japan. Hope they can recover soon.

Happy 2024 to you too Barbara!
I hope none of your family or friends have been affected Junichi. It's quite sad.
