![]() Toshikoshi-soba Buckwheat noodles eaten on New Year's Eve. |
We Japanese people eat buckwheat noodles (soba in Japanese) on New Year's Eve. This custom was already an established custom by the Edo period (1603-1868). |
Toshikoshi means to see the old year out and the New Year in. We have to eat it before January 1st. Some people believe that eating the soba after the start of the new year bring bad luck. |
<There are several reason why we eat soba on the last day of the year> 1.Buckwheat noodles are long and thin. It leads the belief that if one eats soba he/she will get a long and prosperous life. People also wish their family's good fortune will continue long (like soba noodles)throughout the coming year. |
2.In the Edo period , soba cake was used by goldsmiths when they collect flied gold leaf. Then soba symbolizes the wealth. 3.Soba is cut easily. People want to cut off bad luck and trouble of this year. 4. Year-end is always very busy and soba is easy to eat. |
