Seven herbs congee




7th of January is the day to eat congee with seven herbs to wish for the good health of the year.  We've been eating and drinking since the end of December, it was a great time to have light dinner.  It's a Japanese tradition but the date is set just the right time.

「七草粥」年末から飲み過ぎ食べ過ぎが続いていたので、七草粥がとても美味しく感じた。海外では七草がないので、お粥に大根とほうれん草を入れているが、本来の七草は少し香りもあって美味しかった。この日辺りは本当に胃が疲れているので、伝統とは言え素晴らしいタイミングでリセットする日だと思う。
