Hakata Hisamatsu of Tagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture makes this Japanese-Western fusion three-tier osechi box “Maizuru” (37 dishes in total, serves 2-3). The origin of the ingredients varies by dish (for example, the herring roe is from the United States and the shrimp from Thailand). This osechi (traditional Japanese New Year’s food) arrives frozen and is said to be ready to eat once thawed, but it’s easy to order without knowing how many people it serves or how long it keeps. In this article, we’ve organized what Hakata Hisamatsu publishes on its official site about its Japanese-Western fusion three-tier osechi box “Maizuru,” into five points: contents, storage method, ingredient labeling, gift suitability, and reviews. Its strengths are that celebratory chopsticks, zoni (rice-cake soup) stock and a furoshiki (wrapping cloth) come with it, and that you can choose the delivery date from December 28 to 31.
