Today is New Year’s Eve, called OMISOKA in Japanese.
Omisoka means “the last day of the year” in Japanese.
A traditional way of spending New Year’s Eve in Japan is for family members to get together and wait all night for God, or literally “year diety,” to visit their home.
Generally we eat “Toshikoshi Soba” on New Year’s Eve.
Toshikoshi soba noodles are traditionally eaten on New Year’s Eve in Japan.
Toshikoshi means “entering the new year.” Soba are buckwheat noodles.
