Shiu-chan, first time ordered Osechi. It's his second time spending the new year in Japan. From spoilt choice of Osechi, he selected it from Andersen. Quite simple and standard packaging. This is 20,000 yen osechi, include simmered Abalone, Spiny lobster, Sea Bream, Kuwai, King alaskan crab and some seasonal vegetables. mostly got meaning. Eat in cold, or room temperature, Again, shiu-chan abit sick of eating it for a few days... Andersen www.andersen.co.jp
