New year’s is the most important holiday for the Japanese people as there is no other time of the year during which families get together in a major way. So I am “home” with my parents and doing the festive thing which I love.
Starting with the new year’s eve.
To be eating soba at the end of the year is a thing to do in order to get rid of bad things that may have happened during the year due to the fact that Japanese soba cuts easily.
First breakfast of the year.
And more sake in the evening
Happy new year to all!!
