  ▼This month’s theme : New Year’s Celebration

  Happy New Year!
  We hope 2026 has begun beautifully for you.
  At Yamashiroya Shozo, we’ve created a special January course built around the theme “New Year’s Celebration,” a fitting way to welcome the start of 2026.
  To open the meal, we serve a petite osechi assortment called “Kinsho Osechi,” presented in a small wooden box — a modest yet heartfelt greeting to the new year.
  Throughout the course, we’ve added ingredients traditionally associated with good fortune, such as sea bream, duck, and venison, each symbolizing our wish for your year to be peaceful and prosperous.
  We invite you to celebrate the beginning of a bright new year with us at Yamashiroya Shozo.
  May the coming year bring you happiness and many wonderful moments.
