As the year draws to a close, culinary enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the arrival of DEAN & DELUCA's latest masterpiece, the Premium Osechi 2026. Available for order starting September 4, 2025, this exquisite culinary offering is brought to life through a collaboration with Chef Hiroyuki Kanda, renowned for maintaining a prestigious three Michelin stars for 18 consecutive years with his establishment, Japanese Cuisine Kanda.

A New Year Tradition with a Modern Twist

Japanese New Year celebrations often involve the preparation of Osechi, a traditional assortment of dishes packed in beautifully designed boxes. The Premium Osechi 2026 elevates this cultural experience, interweaving traditional ingredients with modern finesse. Chef Kanda's philosophy, encapsulated in the saying, “Cuisine is a technique of kindness,” has inspired the creation of this unique culinary delight that promises to add joy to festive tables.

The Premium Osechi consists of three distinct tiers, each meticulously crafted to showcase seasonal ingredients that highlight the best of Japanese cuisine.

• - Third Tier: A modern array of delectable offerings that harmonize beautifully with wine and champagne, embracing contemporary culinary trends.

Throughout these layers, there’s an emphasis on authentic flavors, textures, and colors derived from seasonal produce, crafted to ensure every bite is a testament to quality and dedication.
