Hi!

I wanted to start the year with this post, but due to work, I had to postpone it for a few weeks. My daughters would like to wish you all (late) ^^:

Akemashite Omedetou gozaimasu!

It is a custom in Japan to eat a prepared bento on the 1st of January, it’s called Osechi (Wikipedia, Dannychoo.com). I provided some links that explains it very good ^_^.

A while ago, I found these cute miniatures of sushi-related food by HelloKitty. I think the scale is pretty accurate to what would look a sushi and a small sushi plate for us in our hands. The girls wanted to share this oishii meal with you all!

I have to say that it’s very detailed, I would have preferred to get normal sushi without the HelloKitty motives, but I’m happy I could find those xD.

So here we have lovely Nia-chan and Saku-chin eating different kinds of sushi “sushi moriawase” and what looks like a gyoza? hmm, no idea to be honest hehehehe.

Temaki, maguro nigiri, ikura nigiri and ebi nigiri.

More zoom in xD

This set comes in a small boxes, a total of 6, they can be shipped random if you order them one by one, but if you place an order for all 6, you’ll get one of each. Each box has an explaining pamflet of what is each dish…then comes in my little knowledge in japanese kanji u_u, for this one says “okurumi sushi” which means something like wrapped sushi?

Mai-tan is eating a “miruku purin” Milk pudding ^_^ watch out Mai-tan! you’ll put on weight :p

Ringo wanted to show you the detail of a small soy sauce bottle :)

“Hello Kitty Sushi” can’t read it all, actually there is a Kanji there I can’t even see properly! lol

Ringo-chan, what are you going to pick?^^

you can’t see it properly here but this sushi (some kind of roe sushi) has the shape of Kitty’s bow,hehehe.

Also, couldn’t wait to make some kimonos for the girls :) Recently I found some nice fabrics in a kimono shop in my town, and also got some by internet. Every fabric has been picked up specially for each girl, Mai got brown, Nia green and Saku purple :).

My father made the geta xD

I don’t know if I made the obis well, but I think they work?

Pink and green for Nia. I love how the fabric matches her hair xD

Kawaii Nia-chaaaaaan <3

Sakura in purple tones :) She got different shoes, those look more like the ones worn with a winter kimono, or at least is what I saw on google when I did the search, hehehe^^

One last picture with all together^^I didn’t make the kimono worn by Ringo. She might get a new one next year xD

Thanks for looking!
