traditional New Year's cuisine お節料理

In Japan fancy traditional dishes called osechi ryori are eaten during the first few days of the New Year. Traditionally, they were prepared on the last few days of the old year, and eaten on Jan 1-3, so as to give the god of the hearth - and the housewife - a respite.
