Japanese New Year Cuisine/O-Sechi Ryouri

A great friend of mine, who also lives in Shizuoka just sent me pictures of the traditional Japanese New Year Meal he shared with his Missus:
In his own words:

“First meal of 2010. Traditional Japanese food. 45 different items in three boxes, plus sake and special soup. Brunch. Fantastic meal!”
