"Mochi has always been a celebratory food in Japan, often cooked for special occasions."
"But we decided to take the mochi off our mediocre grilled and let the soup do the rest of the cooking."
"Rather than putting everything all at once with the ozoni you want to place the ingredients into the bowl neatly one by one and pour the soup over last."
"With the mustard spinach hold on to the chopsticks while lightly simmering it in the broth so that you can keep it nicely stacked and you put this (yuzu) in the very top."
