My Favorite culture

My favorite Japanese culture is celebrating New Year's Day.
Every Japanese people always celebrate it's day.
As it is coming New Year's Eve, we eat buckwheat noodles called tosikosisoba for the dinner.
And we count down to New Year's Day.
We eat Japanese traditional food called osechi.
Grandmothers or Mothers cook it for a long time, before New Year's day.
It's food is put in a tiered box. There are many gorgeous foods in this box.
For example lobster, bream, chestnut, burdock and beef.
The food is very very delicious, and we eat zoni.
It's dish is rice cake in the sweet miso soup.

Some Japanese people eat a lot of rice cakes on New Year's Day.
And parents and relatives give children money on the day.
So children are very happy, and children play by using traditional toys with their family.

For example Hagoita. It is looks kike tennis.

When we play it, we use rakets and balls which made from wings. It is very fun.

If people lose at this game, the people is draw a picture on the face by another people.
Japanese New Year's Day is unique, so I like the day very much.
