Version differences

Leftover dummy item

The dummy model used by unused items in Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing, the New Year's Food is still leftover in the game data as a dummy item, unobtainable without gameplay modification or glitches. It has the unused name "osechi" and uses the dummy model, a white triangle with red Japanese text reading ダミー (damī, dummy). Its name was also translated to other languages in the European version of Animal Crossing, with the name "osechi" in Spanish, "osechi" in French, "Osechi" in German, and "osechi" in Italian.

The item remains unused in Doubutsu no Mori e+, where, as with all dummy items in that game, its name will appear as "かぐ？" (kagu?, furniture?) in the player's inventory. However, when dropped on the ground outside, its name from Doubutsu no Mori+ is shown. The item appears as the same dummy model but cannot be placed down in the player's house if in their inventory.

Real-world information

In Japan, osechi-ryōri (御節料理/お節料理, osechi-ryōri^?) or simply known as osechi (おせち, osechi^?) are a traditional Japanese food served during Shōgatsu (or the Japanese New Year). The name originated from o-sechi, meaning season or period. Osechi is served in jūbako, or tiered boxes, with different dishes present in each one. Common dishes include daidai, datemaki, ebi, and a grilled lobster. Osechi was originally developed during the Heian period of Japan, when it was taboo to cook meals using a hearth except for zōni during the first three days of the New Year. Osechi would be cooked before the New Year and then eaten over those three days of no cooking. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
