New Years in Japan

Today is the 31st of December and tomorrow is one of the biggest holidays in Japan; New Years. Many people in Japan celebrate New Years the same way we celebrate Christmas in the West. Most Japanese people return home and visit families and enjoy nice big meals.


On New Years Eve most people eat Soba (Toshikoshi Soba) end of the year soba. I will make soba tonight as well and maybe some dessert and wine to enjoy.
