I just returned from an incredible feast in celebration of the Chinese New Year. My friend Yato cooked 10 different dishes that included tofu, ginger, shrimp, a variety of mushrooms, and tea infused sauces. There was an honorary fish not meant to be eaten, but to show that there will be abundance in the New Year. We spent the rest of the afternoon at her tea table sampling high quality oolong teas she brought from China. Yato has exquisite taste in tea and we were carried away from the Year of the Rat on flavors that expanded far beyond the size of their tiny cup.
I made a post card this morning to commemorate the event. The front is a collage in honor of the Year of the Ox, the back is a vintage post card from Japan.
