		<description><![CDATA[Osechi is a traditional Japanese set of dishes which is prepared for the new year festivities. Usually presented in bento-type boxes which are stacked on top of each other, typical osechi are foods which are pre-cooked and eaten cold over the first three days of the year, a period during which the women of the house are busy entertaining family members and guests, leaving little time for preparing meals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Japanese, there are two words for rice: gohan ( 御飯 ) and kome ( 米 ). While the latter is strictly used for actual uncooked rice, the word gohan means cooked rice, but is also the general word for a meal. Rice is considered the base of a traditional Japanese meal, and when one says asagohan ( 朝御飯 ) or yuuhan ( 夕飯 ), meaning breakfast and dinner, one  is literally saying the -morning rice- or the -evening rice-.

		<description><![CDATA[In Japan, alcoholic beverages are never dissociated from food. And yet, the concept of pairing dishes with specific drinks is relatively foreign to traditional Japanese culture. In fact, the term used when speaking of food and wine pairing, mariage, is taken directly from the French language.
