*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.

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!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Miyako san. I wish you and your family a wonderful 2020!
May I wish you and your husband a happy and healthy new year.
