Ring in the New Year with Lucky Soba at Sushi Kuni!

As the year comes to a close, join us at Sushi Kuni on December 31st to celebrate a time-honored Japanese tradition—Toshikoshi Soba, or "year-crossing noodles." This comforting, steaming bowl of soba isn’t just delicious; it’s a meaningful way to invite good fortune while bidding farewell to the past year.

Why Hot Soba on New Year’s Eve?

Soba noodles, made from hearty buckwheat, are more than just a meal—they are a symbol of longevity, resilience, and renewal. Their long, unbroken shape represents a wish for a long life, while their easy breakability signifies leaving behind the struggles of the past year and embracing a clean slate for the year ahead. Enjoyed hot, soba brings warmth and comfort to your heart and soul as you prepare to step into 2025.

Lucky Toppings to Complete Your Bowl

To make your soba even more meaningful, we offer toppings that carry special symbolism in Japanese culture:

Green Onion (Negi): Symbolizing a prayer for protection, green onions add a fresh, aromatic touch to your soba.
Abura-age (Fried Tofu Sheets): A favorite of Inari, the fox god of harvest and trade, this topping invites blessings of prosperity and success.
Shrimp: With its curved back resembling an elderly figure, shrimp is a wish for longevity and a life filled with wisdom.
Kamaboko (Red and White Fish Cake): The vibrant red and white colors symbolize good luck and celebration, adding a festive touch to your New Year’s meal.

On December 31st, we’ll be serving our special hot Toshikoshi Soba, complete with these auspicious toppings, all day long. Let the warmth of this traditional dish fill you with joy, hope, and good fortune as you close out 2024 and welcome the year ahead.
