Year-Crossing Noodles

Dec 30, 2015 18:03
Tomorrow, December 31 is the New Year's Eve.

In Japan, there is a custom of eating year-crossing noodles called "toshikoshi soba" on New Year's Eve.

According to a survey, about 60% of Japanese seem to eat toshikoshi soba.

As the reasons to eat soba, there are some hypotheses like the following:

・In order to cut off disaster seeds of the year, we eat soba that is easy to cut.

・In hope of a long life and a long-lasting bond between families, we eat soba that are long noodles.

Lazy people will eat instant soba.
年越し蕎麦

明日、12月31日は大晦日です。

日本では大晦日に、縁起を担いで年越し蕎麦を食べる風習があります。

アンケート調査によると、日本人の約60%が食べているそうです。

蕎麦を食べる理由として、次のような説があります。

・今年一年の災厄を断ち切るために、切れやすい蕎麦を食べる。

・長寿や家族の縁が長く続くため、細く長い蕎麦を食べる。

面倒くさがりな人は、インスタントの蕎麦を食べます。

Interesting! I wonder, what the effect will be if you'll eat instant soba instead of toshikoshi one? ^_^

Thank you very much always for correcting my post!
I think both of them have the same effect (the effect of instant one might be weaker, though). To make soba is a little difficult, while to make instant soba is really easy. So lazy people can't make soba except instant one. :)

You're welcome!

Even lazy people can have their dreams come true^_^
