Happy New Year of 2025!
Happy New Year!
On New Year’s Eve, after finishing work, I focused on making a costume for my daughter’s performance. I didn’t want to carry over tasks I’m not good at into the new year, so I pushed through and managed to finish it. That night, my son stayed up late for the first time, so we got to celebrate the countdown together.
On New Year’s morning, as per our annual tradition, I watched the televised broadcast of the Diamond Fuji. Seeing it gave me a sense of relief and peace.
After breakfast with my family, I took our beloved dogs, Mario and Luigi, for a walk. We also stopped by the local shrine to pray for everyone’s health in the year ahead.
Later, my husband surprised us with tickets to the Tokyo Skytree observation deck. We took the Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram) to get there.
Seeing Mt. Fuji in person after watching it on TV earlier felt a bit surreal, but it also gave me a deep sense of joy, as though the mountain has always been watching over us.
And so, 2025 has begun!
This year, I plan to focus even more on holding cooking classes at my home kitchen studio, while strengthening my efforts to share information about Japanese food culture and lifestyle through social media and blog writing. I’m excited and nervous to see what kind of changes will unfold!
Finally, I would like to extend my New Year’s greetings to you and your loved ones. May 2025 be a year filled with happiness, health, wealth, peace, and success.
Warmest regards,
YUCa
