- Category:Event
People across Japan are slurping up soba buckwheat noodles on Wednesday, New Year's Eve. Eating the noodles while wishing for longevityand happiness is a Japanese tradition on the final day of the year.
One soba restaurant in Morioka City in the northeastern prefecture of Iwate has a history of more than 140 years. It prepared about 6,000 servings using flour from elsewhere in the prefecture.
Diners occupied all the tables immediately after the restaurant opened for the day.
Most customers ordered soba in hot soup after arriving amid the winter cold with snow falling outside. Many bought noodles to take away and eat later at home.
A man in his 30s said he had come to cap the year without problems, just like easily eating the soba. He added that he hopes to lead a healthy and peaceful life in 2026.
A man in his 60s who had come with his wife said the noodles tasted great, and that he wants to pass next year with a sound body.
The restaurant's proprietress said she wants customers to enjoy the soba while wishing for long lives.
