Japanese have been eating bowls of Toshikoshi Soba noodles in the last hours and minutes of each year for several centuries.
The characteristically long soba noodles are said to symbolize long life while the buckwheat plant from which they are made can survive severe weather: hence soba represents strength and resiliency.

The award-winning restaurant’s authentic-centric chefs pride themselves on creating the definitive bowl of Toshikoshi Soba.
