Often, it was cooked during field battles and thought to have been an important meal to the Samurai. Eating Ozoni on New Years Day has become a tradition that goes back to the Muromachi period (1336-1573). I want to thank Keitochan for posting how to make this traditional soup and posting a video on how mochi is made. Check out the recipe and video at keitochansays.com
