There isn’t really any holiday in particular that we eat sushi, but until relatively recently it was a pretty expensive food, so for lower income people it was eaten on special occasions such as birthdays.

Sushi isn’t really something people make a home too much, since traditionally osechi ryori is something made at home, sushi is not a traditional new years dish.

ozouni is my favorite Japanese new years dish! We grew up in the US also and I insisted that my mom make this for me every new years! Do you like it too?
