6:43 橋渡し（怨み箸ともいう）は日本の慣習では絶対やってはいけないタブーとされている行動。
二人一組で各々が持った骨箸（こつばし・骨上げ専用の箸）で、ひとかけらの遺骨を拾い掴み合いながら骨壷に納めていく慣習があります。
つまり、骨箸と骨箸で一緒に遺骨を拾い上げて骨壷に入れていくということです。
superstition.
@@user-du4mq9yf7i It is Japanese culture to come for a long time. Please do not easily clear it up with a superstition.
日本のお正月には、数えきれないほどの習慣や行事があり、お節料理とお餅は最も重要です。地方や家族によっても内容が異なりますが、それぞれの料理におめでたい意味が込められています。現実的な意味では、1年で最も忙しい12月を終えてお正月くらいはのんびり家族で過ごせるように考えられた料理です。ガスコンロや冷蔵庫がなく、火を起こしたり保存するのが大変だった時代、正月3日間は女性が台所に立たなくても食事ができるよう、季節の野菜や旬の魚を使って日持ちのする料理を12月のうちに時間をかけてたくさん作っておくのです。正直古臭い味付けで、現代人にはさほど美味しく感じないものもありますが、家族や親戚やお客さんと一緒に新しい年を祝って食べる料理は、それ以上の価値があります。年末にお節を作る時間がない現代では現代風にアレンジされた豪華なお節が買えます。高くてもこの習慣を大切にしている日本人が多いので、よく売れます。
お正月といえばやっぱりお雑煮ですね、各地方ごとに色々なお雑煮にがあって美味しいですよ
明日1/7は七草粥を食べる日です‼️
クリスマスからお正月にかけて色々食べたので、疲れた胃を休めましょうという意味で朝に作って食べます🥰
OSECHI, each dishes have a meaning. For example, black bean in Japanese is Mame, mame-ni hataraku, means work diligently. Hataraku means work, mame-ni ddiligently. Surely mame is noun of bean but it has another adverb meaning like diligent.
Cooked kelp means rejoice or happy. Kelp is konbu or kobu. Kobu suggest joying or happy.
Eating osechi in new year first day means making this year as to be happy.
Happy New Year、あけましておめでとうございます！！
ごぞんじかも知れませんが
お節料理は、もともとお正月くらいお母さんにも感謝して
料理を作らずにゆっくりとしてもらおうという意味もあり
味よりは長持ちする保存食という料理が多いのでお口に合うか心配しながら動画をみてましたが
みなさんがおいしく食べられる料理があったみたいで安心しました。
今年もご家族が笑顔で過ごせるような年になるとよいですね
In Japan, when eating a large plate of food, does not take the food with one's own chopsticks, but prepares a another set of chopsticks(取り箸) to take the food from the plate.
It is also the manner to prepare a small plate for each individual and take it once and eat it there.
Please try to put this into practice.
As others may have already mentioned, it is considered bad at a meal to pass directly from one chopstick to another, as it is the same manner as using chopsticks to pick up bones at a funeral.
This is considered common sense even in modern Japan, but we too rarely make a mistake and do it. At that time, we both say, "Oh! It is a manner that comes to us when we have forgotten about it, so much so that we say "I did it..." and raise our voices.
Since this manner is not something that you would bother to bring up among friends, you might be embarrassed at a moment's notice if you are unaware of its very existence, so I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of my meddling.
Thanks always for all your fun videos!
Mama-chan reaction when she ate the Niboshi was sooo cute!
I'm sure there were some things she didn't like, but Mama-chan's mom was great about telling us everything tasted good. Thank you!
So fun!! Despite the expense of the Pokemon meal, it looked worth it to see the joy brought to you all trying it.
I truly look forward to watching your family adventures. I've just finished night duty as a nurse here in Australia and I saw your video- I couldn't click quick enough! You inspire us all to bring peace, family, community, and love for all into our lives- thank you.
I loved this video on Osechi and the New Year traditions. It's so interesting seeing how other cultures celebrate new years day and its celebrations. We love Japan and through your every day life we are learning more about such a beautiful country- thank you Ryder family 🙌🙏😊
Aw, thank you!
As a Japanese, I remember I hated Osechi and insisted Sukiyaki instead. Now aged 62 Osechi is my favorite. We normally purchase 3 box set priced around JOY30,000 to be delivered from the department store. However, “Ozoni”, a small bowl of soup with mochi and other ingredients, is defiantly house cooked. I insist Kyoto style with white miso soup. Everyone is truly conservative about style of ozoni most of prefectures have their own to inherit. I hope you will try 3-4 box set and ozoni next year. Great holy blessings continue from Christmas. Thank God I am in Japan, very blessed country.
日本人でも由来はもはや調べないと解りませんが、全ての料理に今年1年良い事があります様にと言う思いが込められています
何よりも家族でゆっくりとおせちを楽しむ事が大事だと思います
他の方も仰っていますが、箸×箸は日本ではNGです
↓↓↓google translate↓↓↓
Even Japanese people don't know the origin of the dish without researching it, but all the dishes are filled with the hope that good things will happen this year.
Above all, I think it's important to enjoy New Year's Eve slowly with your family.
As others have said, chopsticks and chopsticks are not allowed in Japan.
ママさんがビワかしら？と言われたのは、おそらく“金柑の甘露煮“かと思われます。全体的に普段の和食より味が濃かったりするので日本人でも苦手とする人もいますね。料理の一品一品には意味があるので、調べられると面白いかと思います。
Loved the video!! Great way to kick off the new year. Happy 2023 to you and yours🎉 Wishing you a Blessed year🌟 Aloha from Yokohama🤙
Happy new year!
And big happy new year to your family from down under!! 🇦🇺❤️🇯🇵
I am watching from US. You respect the Japanese culture and tradition and enjoy the life in Japan. Kotatsu, Osechi, Going to a public school and such. As a Japanese, I appreciate you guys. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Thank you and happy new year to you too
This family has so warm atmosphere and kids are fantastic!!
Families getting together for a holiday meal, parents wanting the best for their children, makes you realize how much more we are all alike than we are different.
That's right
You ate Osechi for the first time didn't you. How was it?
Each ingredient has a meaning to live longer or to get fortune.
I eat it every new year day. It lasts longer and so you don't need to cook next day.
You all are having Osechi. I hope the girls would pick up one or two items of their favorite to cook by themselves while staying in Japan. Eating Osechi is considered to get lucks for this new year😊
I love the "nimono" made with "Satoimo", "Lenkon", "Gobou" and "carrot" that Anna and Becca were eating while talking about the flavor of miso soup.☺️ This time Christmas at Paz Church was very grand and wonderful.✨✨✨🙏
出来れば各々 小皿（取り皿）に食べ物を取って食べた方が良いですね、お母さんがお祖母さんにエビを箸から箸に渡されましたが、その行為は、嫌われます（不快に思われます）なぜなら、葬儀の時、遺骨を骨壺に納める時に行う動作だからです あのような場合、お互いの小皿（取り皿）に入れてあげると良いですね。
I just love the otter wedding. That's made my day 🙂!
Ha ha! Us too :)
おせち料理は家庭で作るもののほうが美味しいです。販売するものは日持ちするように味が濃くなっていますので日本人でも苦手です。かまぼこや数の子は市販のものを使いますが。おせち作られる方に今度は取材してみたらどうかなと思います。つきたてのお餅は本当に美味しいので食べてみてほしいなぁ。
おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんにも会えて素敵な年明けでしたね。
日本にいろいろある伝統的な風習にトライしてくださって嬉しいです。
正月の次は2月は豆まき3月はひな祭り。日本らしい伝統たくさんあります。ぜひ楽しんでください。今年も動画を楽しみにしています。
Osechi dishes are cold, so I recommend eating ozoni(お雑煮) as a warm soup.
In the old days, mochi for the New Year was pounded at the end of the year
at home using a stone or wooden mortar and wooden pestle.
I also pounded a lot.
Nowadays, such households are fewer and fewer, and it is common to buy mochi at the store. However, Occasionally I see mochi pounding events in shopping arcades.
ps Chopstick passing is considered bad manners.
I really enjoy and appreciate your family and it’s representation of my home country of Japan. I will be back in Japan for the first time in 4 years this April. I recently found god and got sober I would love to come meet you guys at the church!
Wow- we'd love to meet you too! We are there nearly every Sunday, so please come and introduce yourself to us!
How wonderful for you Yuki! May God bless you!
おせち料理は初めてというので口に合うかなと思いましたが、みなさんお気に召したようで良かったです。ご両親が来日され楽しいお正月を過ごされましたね😄
冷たかったって言ってましたが、冷凍で運ぶので家でしばらく置いて解凍しないといけないんですよね。常温になってから食べるんだと思います😄
あけましておめでとうございます！
元々おせち料理は親族で集団生活をしていた農村や商家の女性陣が正月の三賀日に家事をしないで済む様に、腐りにくい砂糖や醤油で濃く味付けした料理を大量に作る習慣から始まっています。
その際に縁起の良い食材だけを集めて調理したのが、御節料理です。
今では縁起が良い食材ではなく、非伝統的な高給料理の箱詰め弁当も御節として認知されています。
まぁ、現代ですから男性も家事をやるべきですから、御節も意味が変わり家族で高給食材を楽しむと言うのも悪くないですね。
I love how Vovo is the first to try everything! Love her spirit! Many people buy osechi nowadays but no oshogatsu is complete without ozouni, which is the one thing you cannot buy in stores. Every family has their own recipe for ozouni and it is not sweet (very important because everything else is so sweet).
Thank you for always sending out information about Japan.
日本も昔は年末年始お店休みだったし、お正月は何かと忙しいからお母さんたちの手間を省くため、日持ちする素材でおせちを作ってたんだよ。今では年中無休だから、その必要は無くなったけどね。

That's kumquat.
Kinkan in Japanese pronunciation.
Some are sold raw at supermarkets, so please try them.
It is an important fruit in Japanese history.
Happy New Year, to all the family 🎉!!! Ruth, I believe the little orange that you were eating is a kumquat, is a tiny citrus fruit, originally from South Asia. I personally love them 😉🥰
HAPPY NEW YEAR❤
2023もステキな年になりますよーに♡
子供たちの成長楽しみにしてますね😊
おめでとうございます🐇
いつも明るいライターさん、こちらも元気になります😸おせちの「海老」は腰が曲がるまで長生きできるようにと言う意味です。我が家は「黒豆」が一番人気です🎍
Actually Osechi is very traditional, and the taste is not that good because the purpose is to preserve food. But I'm glad to see your family tried it!
I always like the narration in your videos, and my favourite part is always the opening, it’s always such a good segue into the main story. Loved seeing you all try Osechi. Happy New Year to the Ryder family.
Aww- thanks so much. We work hard on these videos, so I'm glad you enjoy them.
Happy New Year! Love watching your channel and seeing your family embrace another culture. My dream is to visit Japan some day and I've learned a lot from your videos. Hope the new year brings your family lots of new experiences and health!
Thanks Jen
wow! I'm japanese. I never thought abrod peaple know OSECHI（おせち）and eat it.
What wonderful world... please have a fun our cluture🎉
明けましておめでとうございます。みんなでおせち料理いいですね。仲の良い家族素晴らしいです。今年もよろしく。🐰🤗😄
お正月にナゼおせち料理が食べられるのか、お正月くらいお嫁さんを休ませてあげる為なので日持ちする料理ばかりになっています。また、使われている食材にも意味があります。エビは腰が曲がるまで長生きするように、数の子は子孫繁栄だったり。現代では、ローストビーフや伊勢海老など関係が無い食材も使われていますが、家族や親戚が集まって美味しい食事が出来る事を幸せに感じられれば十分ですよね。
おばあちゃんめちゃ可愛い👍
Happy New Year, beautiful family!!
Osechi food is cold, so we have hot ozouni soup together.
あまり食べなくなったおせち料理、懐かしいです、子供の頃は嫌いな物ばかり入っている思い出です、大人になってから食べれるようになった物が多いイメージです
Osechi cuisine is a preserved food.
It is to give housewives who cook every day a rest.
In the past, housewives used to go home to their parents' houses during the New Year's holidays.
明けましておめでとうございます。よくぞブラジルからいらっしゃいました。長旅さぞ大変だったでしょう。
私も幼少の頃は家族で帰省し、田舎で大勢の家族が集まる団欒が楽しかった記憶があります。大晦日に餅つきやってましたね。
おせち料理も、次回は是非とも中身は質素になるかも知れませんが、お屠蘇と共に古式に則そったのを召し上がって欲しいです。
地方でも多種多様です。私は苦手でしたが。
良き一年を、ライター家の皆さんお過ごし下さい。
Looks like a fun meal for any time of year. Much luck, blessings, and grace for the coming year will God grant you surely.
The homemade one looks like it has taro potato, lotus root and konjac jelly cake! Yum!
(And I think burdock root?)
wonderful! did u know that each osechi dish has meaning.i am japanes live in outside of japan.
i miss alot of japanes traditional. so i love to watch this youtube channel❤
明けましておめでとうございます。今年も良い年を。
I loved this video, seeing such a cute Pokémon ball with lots of foods to try. So fun being all together
Thank you 🤗
Happy New Year to you and your family. What a wonderful present to you all to have grandparents visit.
I'm with Ruth! Mochi Ice Cream (at least what we have in the US) is probably my favorite treat! also, those meals look tasty! 😋 Happy New Year, Reutter family!
お正月の期間は地獄の釜も休むとされていて 食事の用意も出来るだけ簡単に済ませて、家族でゆっくりすごすために先人の方々は おせち料理を考案したようです、地方によって違うと思いますが 黒豆の煮たものは 豆に働けますように 数の子は子孫繁栄など 意味があり 保存がきくように 少し濃い味で煮たり焼いたりしたものが多いですね。
Happy New Year for the family of Life in Japan, God bless you all...from Bogotá , Colombia 🙏🌹
God bless you too! And Happy new year!
食品を箸と箸で摘んで渡すのは、禁忌とされてます。それができるのは、お葬式のお骨を拾うときです。
おせち料理は一年の豊作と健康、家族の幸せを神様に願って食べる大変縁起の良い幸福を呼ぶ食べ物です。
私の場合ですが、お正月におせち料理を食べたり玄関飾りをしなかった年は不運が多かったので、それ以来毎年欠かさずおせち料理を作って食べています。
栗きんとんは金運、小魚は田作りといって豊作、黒豆はマメに働いて丈夫に健康に暮らせるように、数の子は子孫繁栄、紅白蒲鉾は魔よけ、昆布は子宝や喜び事がくる、エビは長寿、伊達巻は学業成就、蓮根は見通しが良くなる・・等。
Happy New Year! So nice that Ruth's parents get to spend some time with you!
2023 Happy New Year
あけましておめでとう⛩ございます🎍🎍🎍
Happy New Year あけましておめでとうございます！
Thank you so much for sharing so many wonderful moments with us.
I also loved how much Vova enjoyed everything
来年のおせちは日本のおせちで使われてる食材を使ってライターさん達の故郷の料理を作って盛り付けても楽しそうですね。
おせちには2つの意味があると思う。
1つは、家事労働を含めて｢正月は働かない｣の精神で、最初に大量に作って、それを徐々に消費していく。だからどれも保存の効くものだし、飽きないようにバラエティに富んでいる。
もう1つは、新年の縁起物だということ。それぞれの料理に大抵験担ぎがある。
Happy New Year and God bless you!
Happy new year and God bless you!
あけましておめでとうございます
おせち料理はいわれと言って料理や素材のひとつひとつに意味があります
例えばおばあさんやママちゃんが気に入られたエビなんかは腰が曲がってくる年齢まで元気でいられるようにとかです
自分はそのまま食べられて日持ちのするおせち料理は普段忙しい主婦の皆さんが料理しなくて済むのが一番いいなと
うちは元旦は雑煮作るとき以外火も包丁も使っちゃだめって風習守ってたりしますｗ
Hi everyone wishing you all a very Happy New year 🎉 from 🇬🇧 Uk.
Happy new year!
お節の食材は、全て意味があります。長寿、安泰、健康ダネ😊
Osechi is one of the things I have not been lucky enough to try yet. The Japanese market in Seattle always takes orders for them in December, but they were so expensive I never got one when we lived there. Sadly, there are no Japanese markets near us here, at least to my knowledge. I know there's a market up north in Chicago, and maybe one south toward Indianapolis, but I don't know if they make Osechi for New Years like Uwajimaya in Seattle did. Does look yummy though!
明けましておめでとう御座います🙇🎍🌅今年も宜しくお願い致します🙇🎍⛩️ポケモンおせち、可愛いですね😊👋皆様が今年も良い年でありますように😊👋👋
今年も良い年でありますように
明けましておめでとうございます 今年も宜しくお願いします
Happy New Year to all! We live in south Texas and ate black eyed peas, collard greens & cornbread for luck in the New Year.
Yum!
The act of passing food from chopstick to chopstick is called ``hashi-watashi,'' and it is considered a violation of manners at a meal table. The reason why it is taboo to pass chopsticks at a meal is to make people imagine that they are raising bones at a crematorium. When eating in public, you should be especially careful and understand the meaning.
「はし渡し」はタブー中のタブー。絶対にやってはいけない。
Thanks for letting us know!
I was about to say the same, it's like passing a bone down the family line to put into their urn as there's a few parts that isn't fully incinerated.
@@skihatanoshiiま、俺みたいにやってる人もいますがね。
It's about the scene where the shrimp was handed over.
The ingredients in it also have a meaning, so please check it out.
Pokemon New Year's dishes are nice!
The round orange that mama ate were kinkan no kanroni(Kumquats in Syrup)
お箸の作法。エビを2人で摘まんでいましたが、日本では、亡くなった人の、お骨を拾う時の作法なので、気をつけて下さい
Happy New Year!!! Wishing you health and prosperity in the new year!
素敵なクリスマスとお正月‼️
Happy new year and countless blessings to the entire Life in Japan family🎉
Hope your family have a happy year.
Let me point out about HASHIWATASHI.
We Japanese have a tradition of cremation. We burn a dead body to ashes and then pick bones up with chopsticks to collect them. Funeral attendants transfer bones chopsticks to chopsticks as a kind of ceremony. So HASHIWATASHI, which means to transfer something chopsticks to chopsticks, is though to be ill-omened and bad manners in Japan.
Happy new year. Lotus root has a hole. This is an ingredient that is eaten in the hope that you can see the other side, so that you can see the year, that is, to spend the year safely. Have a good year, family.
👴👵みんな揃って、楽しそう✨🤗
昔、お正月🎍は、
何処も、お店が閉まっていたので、
お正月の3日間は、
保存できる、おせち料理を食べました。
少しでも、お母さんを
休ませる意味も。✨
縁起が良いとして、
お料理の一つ一つ、
意味があります。
小魚（田作り）は、
お米が沢山収穫できるように…😌とか。
今は食材も、洋風になったりしてます。
コンビニ🏪もあり、日本でも作らない家庭も多くなってます。
私は、毎年、作ってます！✨🤗
家族集まって、
お正月🎍。
お餅の入った、
お雑煮も、ぜひ食べてみてくださいね！✨☺️
Happy New Year to your wonderful family!! The visit to the flower park and aquarium were interesting. That's so nice Ruth's parents came from Brazil. Hope they enjoy their visit!
Happy new year!
あけましておめでとうございます！🎊
I always enjoy watching your videos. ☺ Mochi ice cream is my favorite too. I recently tried いちご大福🍓 and that has become a favorite too (strawberry anything is always a favorite though for me lol).
こたつが役に立ってるんですね！嬉しいですね。日本文化を楽しんでください！
お節は結構個性的な物が多いと思うので気に入ってもらえて嬉しいです
若い子は今はあまり食べないそうですが
自分は伝統的なお節大好きです！
今はいろいろな選択肢がありますが、お正月ならやはり伝統的なおせちを食べたくなる
お雑煮と一緒にいただくとさらにお正月感が出ると思います
お節は甘い物が多いのと、どちらかというとお酒のつまみ的なものも多いので、それだけだと食事としてのバランスは良くないので😅
Happy New Year 🎉🎆
Happy New Year beautiful family!! As always your videos make me smile.😊 The Osechi looked so yummy!!
Happy new year!!
箸で挟んで箸で貰う事は、縁起が悪いです、日本の常識では葬式で火葬去れた、骨を骨壺に入れる時に、縁者が二人で向かい合い箸で一つの骨を挟み骨壺に納める作業を意味するので、それに似た行為として、縁起が悪いとされ嫌われてます。(グランまから、ママさんが、エビを貰ったシーン)
Happy 🎉New Year
very nice おせち！
well done❗
日本を代表するかどうか分かりませんが、自分の家では、おせち料理について次のように教わりました。
過去の日本は、料理を含む家事は女性の仕事。
四季がはっきりしていて、正月のある冬には、新鮮な食材が手に入りにくかった。
正月を家族全員で祝うためには、食材が少ない真冬に女性が料理しなくても美味しい料理が食べられる工夫が必要だった。
お正月に女性が料理しなくていいように、保存が効く料理、温かくなくても(作った直後で無くても)美味しい料理をお正月に向けて年末に用意した。
年が明けると、正月三が日は、女性が料理しなくても、温め直さなくてもいい料理、おせちが発達したらしい。
なので、おせちは、
・暖めずに常温で食べる
・味が濃く腐敗しない
・出汁が利いてとても美味しい
・エビなどの、縁起を担ぐ食材を多用する
と言う発展を遂げたらしいです。
通常日本では、酒は夜飲むもので昼間から飲むのは駄目人間という文化ですが、正月だけは、朝からおせちをつまみに酒を飲むのもOKです。
今は、おせちより美味しいものが溢れていますが、子供の頃の自分は、おせちの中では、伊達巻きやエビ、酢蛸や栗きんとんは特別でしたね。
でも、日本の子どもが大好きなのは、おせちじゃ無くお年玉だったりしますよね。
How special that Ruth’s parents can come visit! How long will they stay for? My kids love Mochi ice cream as well. We only get it for special occasions though.
Just for another week or so - but still a lot of fun to be together!
Thank you for uploading this interesting video❗️
I was wondering if the sweet potato dish is Kuri-kinton. Kuri means chestnut. It’s made with chestnut and sweet potato. It’s one of the most popular traditional Osechi food and people eat it wishing this golden colored dish brings them wealth (gold).
Each region has different types of Osechi as they used local food.
Before Meiji-era, it was not common to eat 4 legged animals in Japan (poultry was ok, and in some regions such as Okinawa or Kagoshima, pork was common food), but modern Osechi uses various ingredients adjusted to modern Japanese’ taste.😊
Estive ausente um Feliz Natal atrasado e um feliz ano novo .
I've started seeing mochi balls (ice cream) in American grocery stores and have bought it a few times and had no idea until I watched this video that mochi isn't always ice cream and is often filled with something else.
Glad you’re trying Osechi.
Just a note though don’t pass food chopstick to chopstick!
That is traditionally done at funerals so that is bad manners to do it with food in Japan.
Happy New Year. Both my kids are in Japan right now.. for the next week.
Wow! If they're around, they should come by Paz Church and meet us in person! That would be fun :)
まずは、明けましておめでとう🎍。おせち料理は良いよね。来年は昔からのもっと🇯🇵的なおせち料理を食べてね。
This was a really interesting video. I hope you enjoyed your new years start. Buona epifania from Italy
Thank you! Happy new year to you too
Hope your family have a happy year.
Let me point out about action 6:42.
We Japanese have a tradition of cremation. We burn a dead body to ashes and then pick bones up with chopsticks to collect them. Funeral attendants transfer bones chopsticks to chopsticks as a kind of ceremony. So HASHIWATASHI, which means to transfer something chopsticks to chopsticks, is though to be ill-omened and bad manners in Japan.
