Talking of the New Year / 正月と言えば… [Life]

お正月に必ずすることの一つに初詣があります。
私は元旦に行って来ました。

	At the Kitazawa-Hachimangu (=Shrine's Name)　北澤八幡宮 One of things that I make the New Year is "Hatsumoude (=pay a visit to a shrine)". I went to there on New Year's Day.
	参拝のため行列して待っていると、囃子の音色が聞こえて来ました。なんだか得した気分…。 While I was waiting for the paying homage at a shrine in line, I heard the tones of Hayashi (=a kind of Gagaku). I felt lucky!

そして忘れてはならない、おせち料理。

And.... a topic worthy of special mention is "Osechi-ryouri" which is the traditional Japanese New Year foods.

Osechi-ryouri　おせち料理 作るのも楽しいけれど、食べて美味しいのは何よりですね。 I enjoy cooking, and I like eating very much!

保存食とはいえ、昔の人は良く考えたものだわ…。

Although they are a kind of preserved foods, I admire the predecessor who considered it well.
