Two days ago it was wet and bleary. And then to wake up to a beautiful day in a most beautiful city on a new year is a great blessing..

I was lucky to be invited to Yoriko’s for a New Year’s brunch of nabe, sake and flan. Very lucky indeed.

New year's food: mochi with red bean and with soy powder

Yoriko made a delicate custard (flan) for New Year's. Oishi.

Writing good wishes for the new year.
