It is a custom for Japanese to eat Soba Noodle Soup on New Year’s Eve. However, it can be very hot at this time of year in Melbourne where I live, and I often cook a cold dish of Soba Noodles. But it is always nice to have a hot dish like this one. I enjoyed this Soba Noodles as we had unusually cool weather this year.
