comment:
This is Kansai-style ozōni. Ozōni is eaten on the first 3 days of the New Year holidays. Circular rice cake and white miso are almost always used in Kansai-style ozōni. Kansai includes Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hyōgo, Shiga and Wakayama prefectures. (For ozōni recipes from other area of Japan, refer to the ozōni listing in the Typical Meals section.)
