"Nanakusa-gayu", or Rice porridge with seven different kinds of spring herbs

Japanese people have the Nanakusa-gayu in the morning on January 7th. Nanakusa-gayu means rice porridge with seven different kinds of spring herbs. It is very healthy and low in calories. Since the people take a lot of special food and drink which include Osechi, Ozohni, Sake and etc. at the beginning of the year in Japan, the people take a rest for their stomach to have the Nanakusa-gayu.
The following shows the seven herbs of spring.

1. Seri, or Japanese parsley

2. Nazuna, or Shepherd's Purse

3. Gogyo, or Cudweed

4. Hakobera, or Chickweed

5. Hotokenoza, or Nipplewort

6. Suzuna, or Turnip

7. Suzushiro, or Radish

Unfortunately I did not take the Nanakusa-gayu this year.
