Real-world information
Toshikoshi soba (年越し蕎麦/としこしそば?) is a Japanese dish served around ōmisoka, on December 31st, as a signal for good luck. It is primarily made with soba (そば/蕎麦?), a thin noodle composed from buckwheat that can be easily cut when eating, which represents the idea of letting go of hardships of the year. Some traditions also hold the belief that a long soba noodle symbolizes a long life.
Toshikoshi soba was first served during the Edo period of Japan, when merchants held a custom of eating Misoka soba (みそかそば?). Various regions in Japan often serve different type of toshikoshi soba, and either serve the noodles hot or cold. For instance, tempura soba is a popular variation of the dish, served with soba noodles, shrimp for a long life, and fried tofu for good luck.[1] More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
