Nanakusa-Gayu

It is our Japanese tradition to eat Nanakusa-Gayu (seven-herb rice soup) on the 7th of January. This is a rice soup cooked with Haru no Nanakusa (seven herbs of spring). Since Shogatsu is the biggest holiday in Japanese culture, traditional cuisine are served daily bases on Shogatsu. Therefore, Nanakusa-Gayu is to let the overworked stomach rest.
