[Special] Japanese Traditional New Year Special 1/1 – 1/7

Celebrate the 2026 New Year with Authentic Japanese Traditions at Sushi Zanmai 

As we welcome the brand new year, Sushi Zanmai invites you to experience the true essence of Japanese culture through our specially curated Japanese Traditional New Year Special 2026. From classic seasonal delicacies to our finest seafood, we have prepared a feast to start your year with joy and prosperity 

Mino Osechi (みの御節)

Mino Osechi is the heart of Japanese New Year traditions, a beautifully curated box of seasonal delicacies where each ingredient carries a wish for the coming year. From shrimp representing longevity to sweet chestnuts for wealth, this colorful assortment is more than just a meal; 

it is a “stacked” prayer for continuous happiness. At Sushi Zanmai, we bring this authentic experience to your table, allowing you to taste the deep history and symbolism of a true Japanese celebration.

Oshiruko (お汁粉)

Oshiruko is a warm, comforting dessert soup that has been a beloved winter staple in Japan for centuries. Made from sweet azuki red beans and served with soft, chewy mochi (rice cakes), it provides a perfect balance of sweetness and warmth during the cold New Year season. Sharing a bowl of Oshiruko is a traditional way to enjoy a moment of peace and sweetness with loved ones, symbolizing a harmonious start to the year.

Zoni (雑煮)

Zoni is the quintessential Japanese New Year dish, a savory rice cake soup that embodies the spirit of the holiday. While recipes vary by region, this “lucky” soup always features mochi in a rich, aromatic dashi broth, serving as a sacred offering to welcome the New Year gods. Enjoying our Zoni ($8) is the most authentic way to participate in the “Hatsuhinode” (first sunrise) festivities, bringing you health and strength for the 365 days ahead.
