☆New Year's Eve☆

Hello, everyone!!
Now, New Year's Day is coming soon!!
I'm very excited!!

In Japan, people traditionally eat "年越しそば"(toshikoshi noodles) on New Year's Eve!!
We have to eat them before coming new year, because eating the noodles after the start of the new year is believed to bring bad luck.

Do you know why we eat "年越しそば"？
Because it is believed that we live a long, frugal life such as the noodles if we eat noodles!!
On the other hand, one theory is busy merchants began eating the noodles as a fast meal on the day.
The custom has begun since the middle of the Edo Era!!

Happy New Year!!
