Toshi Koshi Pack - Released in December 2017
Having Toshikoshi soba, aka year-passing soba, is one of the old customs kept by Japanese people even today. On the last night of the year, they eat soba before they hear the New Year's Bells at temples. There are several reasons to have toshikoshi soba; to wish the longevity and prosperity, to break off bad luck, and to wish good health.
Some people, especially those who are allergic to buckwheat, often eat toshikoshi udon instead of soba.
In this pack, we included 2 soba & 2 udon for you to wish a happy new year!

Mushroom Udon noodles with delicious shoyu-based soup flavored with dried sardines and bonito. Contains two kinds of mushrooms; shimeji and shiitake. - Aurore Sauce Yakisoba
