Description

Zoni — the New Year soup of mochi (glutinous rice cakes) in dashi — is both the most important single preparation of the Japanese culinary calendar and one of the most regionally diverse. The broth (clear dashi in eastern Japan; white miso-based in Kyoto and western Japan), the mochi shape (square in eastern Japan; round in western Japan), and the garnishes vary entirely by region, reflecting the different agricultural and culinary histories of each area.
