Part of the culture we have is to eat Soba noodles (toshikoshi-soba) on the night of New Year's Eve (close to midnight). It is often said you need to finish your soba before the New Year begins and it is bad luck to leave any soba (you will lose your luck for money for the coming year).
People eat soba wishing for a long and healthy family life.
Mum normally cooks soba for everyone but this year we decided to go to a special soba restaurant near our house.
