明けましておめでとうございます。A Happy New Year !

2021年になりました。今年も初日の出を見に行き、そのままこなつの散歩に向かうことから始まりました。

It’s 2021. This morning, I went to see the first sunrise of the year and went for a walk with Konatsu and may daughter.

海の近くまで行くと、初日の出を見に来た人たちが大勢だし、道路も大渋滞だ。

When I went near the sea, there were a lot of people who came to see the first sunrise of the year, and the road was in heavy traffic.
In Japan, people believe Toshigami-sama, the Japanese deity of the year, comes with the first dawn, so it is customary for people to join their hands in prayer to ask for well-being for the year at the sight of the first sunrise.

海岸沿いを走っているときにちょうど陽が登り始めた。

The sun just started to rise as I was driving along the coast.

今年の最初に出会ったのはブルーノ君でした。

Bruno was the first dog Konatsu met this year.

寒波の影響で今朝はとても寒かった。

It was very cold this morning due to the cold weather coming south.

さあ、このあとはおせち料理です。

After this, we went back home and eat New Year’s dish.

今年は稲村ケ崎の「虹」の御節を予約してありました。

This is a traditional Japanese New Year’s dish called Osechi-ryori. It’s an assortment
of small dishes. Each dish has meaning, and is part of celebrating the New Year and helps usher in good health and prosperity for the family for the year.

中身はこんな感じ。やっぱりここのは美味しいです。

本年も宜しくお願い申し上げます。

Please continue to take care of this website.
