Let's learn about the most common Japanese Traditional New Year's Eve meal
Japanese New Year's Eve is all about one thing: SOBA.

These Japanese traditional noodles are made of buckwheat and usually eaten on this special night.

In this video we'll talk about the most common questions about osoba: What are soba noodles made of? Is Japanese Soba healthy? Why do Japanese eat Soba on New Year's Eve? and much more!

So is it sacrilegious to eat udon instead of soba for New Year?

SOBA is the tradition but if you don´t like SOBA or if you have allergy with soba, then I think it´s OK to eat udon instead

We had curry udon but the thinner type of udon, similar to soba. (My wife doesn't like soba.) Anyway hopefully the long noodles will give us long life.

Maybe I did't reply in a right way just now
So gorgeous and I can see you are celebrating really great a New Year in Japan.
Lasagne in between is a good idea so as not to get bored with OSECHI for a few days.
Thank you very much to show us your private meal here.
新年明けましておめでとうございます。
今年もよろしくお願いいたします

Usually we drink homemade anzu酒 but this year it was some nigori mango 酒. I thought it was ok but my wife didn't care for it.
