Toshikoshi Soba - Japan

These buckwheat noodles are essential to celebrating the New Year in Japanese culture. The tradition of eating Toshikoshi soba noodles for New Year's Eve goes back some 800 years. The idea is that when you bite the long noodles, you're "breaking off the old year." Don't eat them as the clock strikes midnight, though, as it is actually bad luck! Eager to try?
