  • Japanese traditional New Year’s dish

日本に来て初めての[お正月](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/54655/)に妻の実家で見たおせち料理には感動しましたよ。小さくて色んな種類のものが詰まっているランチボックス。 アメリカにいる家族に写真を撮って送ったんですけど説明をつけました。 それがこんな感じでした。 This is a traditional Japanese New Year’s dish called Osechi-ryori. It’s an assortment of small dishes. Each dish has meaning, and is part of celebrating the New Year and helps usher in good health and prosperity for the family for the year. 「これは日本の伝統的な[新年](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/108026/)の料理でおせち料理と言います。小さい料理の詰め合わせで、各料理に新年を祝ったり、その年の家族の健康や繁栄を願う意味が込められています。」 関連した英語表現については、こちらのブログ記事をご覧ください: [「おせち料理」は英語で?具材に込められている意味を説明しよう](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/blog/learning-english/expressions/osechi/)

  • Osechi-ryori are traditional Japanese dishes specially served on the New Year holidays.

  • Special New Year's dishes

  • Osechi originally means special dishes for the five seasonal festival (Sekku) in a year.

Osechi の語源が、かつての5つの節句(seasonal festival)に供された料理、節句料理から来ていて、それがのちに[正月](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/54655/)の節句のみの料理の意味になりました。 1番目の説明が一番、わかりやすいと思います。 外国では、日本と同じ農耕の文化を持つところで多神教のところは、新年の[お祝い](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/54063/)の料理を持つところが多いようです。欧米では、新年よりどちらかといえば、クリスマスがメインでその際には、七面鳥などを食べたりします。

  • Japanese Traditional New Year's dish

Osechi or Osechi-ryori is unique to Japan and Japanese culture. Therefore, one wouldn't expect to find the English equivalent. A simple description as the aforementioned one will suffice. Since this dish is connected with the New Year's celebration in Japan one might say: Osechi is a Japanese traditional New Year's dish. Once, the meaning is understood, then the word "Osechi" can be used as a proper noun.
おせちやおせち料理はユニークな日本文化です。そのため、英語に「おせち料理」を表す単語は無いと思います。短く説明してあげるので十分でしょう。この料理は日本の新年のお祝いに関係があるものなので、こういう風に言えると思います。 "Osechi is a Japanese traditional New Year's dish." (おせちは日本の伝統的な新年の料理です。) 一度意味を理解してもらってから、"Osechi"という単語を使うと良いでしょう。

  • Traditional Japanese Dish served on new years.

  • Traditional New Years Dish.

You can explain it by saying it is a "traditional dish served on New Years." You can also say it has a similar look to a "bento box." This explains to people that it has small compartments.
a traditional dish served on New Years と説明でいますね。 また、Bento boxのようなものと説明しても良いでしょう。何種類もの小さな料理からなる一つの料理のことだとわかってもらえるでしょう。

  • It's a Japanese New Year compartment box of assorted mini dishes, comprising mostly savoury or seafood taster dishes

  • It's a compartment box of assorted seafood and other mini dishes prepared for the Japanese New Year.

  • It's a traditional Japanese custom to eat these boxed mini seafood dishes at the beginning of New Year

Any of these descriptions gives a brief and general idea of what Osechi is.

  • Near's Cuisine

  • Specia New year's Dish

The literal translation is New Year's Cuisine, but Osechi Ryori is actually a special New Year's dish prepared by the Japanese that is special only to New Year's. It consists of many layers of food packed in boxes. It is supposed to be consumed by the entire family during New Year's Day. Osechi Ryori is supposed to bring good luck and health, similar to the American version of eating black-eyed peas and collard greens for good luck and wealth. It is also VERY EXPENSIVE! I've heard that it's actually becoming less and less popular in Japan now.
文字通り訳すと"New Year's Cuisine"(新年の料理)となりますが、おせち料理というのは新年のためだけに日本人によって準備された特別な料理です。おせちは箱に入ったたくさんの料理ですよね。元日に家族みんなで食べれるようにと作られたものです。おせち料理は幸運と健康をもたらす食べ物ですが、アメリカにも似たような料理があります。黒豆やコラードの葉を幸運や健康のために食べるのです。これはおせち料理と同じでとても高価です!!わたしはおせち料理がだんだんと人気が無くなってきていると聞きました。

  • Osechi

  • A Japanese traditional New Years dish.

If you would like to know how you can explain "osechi" to someone in English, you can also call it "osechi" or a "Japanese traditional New Years dish.". You can use it in a sentence by saying something like "Me and my family ate OSECHI at a Japanese restaurant last night".

  • Osechi is a traditional Japanese dish served on New Years.

  • Osechi is a traditional New Years dish served in Japan.

  • Osechi is a Japanese dish traditionally served on New Years.

Notice that within all three of these sentences that we can use the exact same words for each sentences, but we can move around different adjectives or ideas like, "New Years," "Japanese/Japan," and, "traditional/traditionally," and still maintain the same meaning.
