"With February around the corner, it was high time I got my hands on a serving of ozoni, the essential Japanese new year soup. So over a lunch of nigiri and sushi rolls at Taihei in Monterey Park, a friend and I shared a hefty cauldron filled with shrimp, chicken, fish cakes, napa cabbage, and mushrooms — all cooked in a fortifying dashi broth. Hiding underneath the abundant vegetables and proteins were wonderfully sticky orbs of mochi." - Eater Staff
