I've been eating mochi soup (
ozoni) on new years day for as long as I can remember. My grandmother would make it for us from scratch. This year, my dad made it. He made the broth from scratch (chicken broth this time, although I usually make it from bonito and
kombu) then added shiitake mushrooms,
mizuna (a Japanese green),
mochi and
kamaboko. Eating this soup brings back memories of childhood, and it's said to be good luck for the new year.
Here are some links to recipes for mochi soup:
