Toshikoshi soba
Noodle dish eaten in Japan on New Year's Eve
Toshikoshi soba (年越し蕎麦) is a traditional Japanese noodle bowl dish eaten on ōmisoka (New Year's Eve, 31 December).[1]
This custom is intended to enable the household to let go of the year’s hardship because soba noodles are easily cut while eating.
