Every time she cooks it, she uses the same soup bowls, and it tastes the same all the time.
The meaning of "the 18th" is something you are very good at or something that is of high value to you. We write"the 18th" Jyu-hachiban, but read as "a box" O-Hako. Some say that in the Japanese play Kabuki, popular performers used to play 18 favorite episodes in a show. Others say Samuraies have 18 martial arts that they need to train. There is also another theory that during the Edo period, people put real valued arts, such as potteries or drawings, in a box with an identifier's signature on.
The base of this recipe has been saved in my mom's "box" for a long time, and I added a modern twist to it.
