It’s now New Year’s Eve. New Year’s is Japan’s biggest holiday.
There are many customs and decorations in Japan at this time of year.
I’ll introduce one to you:
年越しそば (Toshikoshi-soba).
Toshi-koshi-soba are noodles that are eaten on New Year’s Eve.
It is said to bring good luck for the coming year if the last thing you ate on New Year’s Eve was this dish.
よいお年を！ (Have a happy new year!)

Recipe? It’s not difficult.
It’s eaten on New Years Eve … so you should eat it next December 31st.
You live in Japan, right? You can buy the noodles and the soup at a supermarket next December and add tempura, if you like.

Thanks.
In Japanese, you say “yoi-o-toshi-o” (have a happy new year) in late December…and in early January, say “akemashite-omedeto-gozaimasu” (happy new year).
If you want to eat toshi-koshi-soba, you only have three hours left!
