I have just made toshikoshi soba (new year's eve buckwheat noodles at home. Traditionally, Japanese people eat buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve. This custom dates back to the Edo period. Buckwheat noodles are very long and thin, which has led to the belief that if one eats these noodles they will have a long and prosperous life. I also think this is a good way to keep warm before going out for countdown!
