Year crossing soba & Osechi

"Year crossing soba" is eaten on New Year's Eve. Soba is easy to cut, so it means that we can cut off the shackles and disasters of the old year and enter the new year. The boxes over there is a traditional Japanese New Year’s dish called Osech. It’s an assortment of small dishes. Each dish has meaning, and is part of celebrating the New Year and helps usher in good health and prosperity for the family for the year.
