Year Crossing Soba Noodle;

*Home made Year Crossing Soba Noodle*
We have a custom eating year-crossing soba-noodles 「年越し蕎麦」 for New Year's Eve Dinner.  Having this soba-noodle with family member quietly at home means a lot to greet the happy next year. There are several theories for how this custom started like the link explains, but the most popular one would be "wishing to have a thin long happy life" year-crossing noodles (link)
*Soba Noodle Making Guest*
Several says ago a lady 'who is my husband's colleague before he retired' tried to make soba noodle. He seemed happy to be able to become a master for her ;-)
The hardest part must be the cutting.

*This year's Year Crossing Soba Noodle I've made*
Thank you very much for stopping by,
I wish you will have wonderful Year End and New Year;
Linking this post to these pages and Thanks to all the link hosts;

  3. Hi Miyako san. You are very lucky to enjoy home-made Toshikoshi-soba! It looks sooo yummy :-) The lady must have had a wonderful time learning soba noodle making from a very skilled master. I would love to learn soba making if I have a chance, too!
    Happy New Year, Miyako san. I wish you and your family a wonderful 2020!

  8. Miyako - your tradition with the year-crossing soba noodle is all the more special given that the noodles are hand-made! A labor of love! Happy New Year to you, my friend!
