New Year's is a major holiday in Japan, and eating soba (buckwheat noodles) is a well-established tradition that’s said to bring good luck in the coming year. This article will introduce the history and details of this custom, as well as some restaurants where you can try this lucky dish for yourself.
When it comes to Japanese food, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is ramen or sushi, but soba, a popular buckwheat noodle dish that has been enjoyed by the Japanese since long ago, shouldn't be overlooked! As an Australian expat in Japan, I didn't have too many opportunities to eat soba back in my home country, so I wanted to look for a good spot in Tokyo. I'd only ever been to the Tsukiji area to eat sushi, and it's famed as a former fish market and its generous offerings of high-quality sushi. However, I recently learned that Tsukiji is also a great place to go to for an absolutely delicious bowl of soba. I visited the well-established soba restaurant Tsukiji Sarashina no Sato to get a taste of one of the country's most versatile and inspiring dishes. Keep reading more to learn about soba and my experience at this soba spot!
