Toshikoshi-soba (New Year's Eve series 2)

"Toshikoshi-soba"

Hello. The New Year's Eve is finally here!😊

The last blog post for the year is New Year's Eve series the 2nd, "toshikoshi-soba." It’s a tradition for Japanese people to eat “toshikoshi-soba” on New Year’s Eve. "Toshikoshi" literally means "entering the new year," and "soba" buckwheat noodles. The long and thin soba noodles symbolize a long life, so we eat them in hope of staying healthy and living longer.

I hope that 2022 finds you happy and successful. See you next year!😃
