The best plan for New Year’s Eve may be to enjoy a quiet evening watching TV and slurping a warm bowl of “toshikoshi” (“year-crossing”) soba. Eating a bowl of soba noodles to mark the end of the old year and pass into the new is a tradition that became widely established in the early 19th century, although its roots may be even older than that. But today, the best symbolic reason to eat soba noodles is that they can be easily bitten, representing a clean, no-regrets break with the ending year.
