Japanese Mother's Dishes

Japanese people celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day is called "haha no hi" in Japanese. It's common to give flowers and gifts to mothers on this day in Japan.

We tend to remember and inherit the taste of our mothers' cooking. It's called "ofukuro-no-aji" in Japanese. They are usually found in everyday cooking, such as nimono (simmered vegetables) and miso soup.
