It is said by tradition that eating toshikoshi soba will give you a long life
Many cultures have traditions of eating certain foods for luck. It is said that lentils bring you riches and breaking a chicken bone will make your wishes come true. Just like blowing out the candles on your birthday cake and making a birthday wish, if you blow out all the candles in one breath, your wish comes true! In Japan, there is the tradition of toshikoshi soba. When you eat this dish it is said to give you a long life and help your health. Soba is long and thin Japanese noodles, so the legend is that you will have a long and healthy life if you eat them, just as soba noodles are long and slender, so too will be your life.
This is a saying that is occasionally said in English as well. Some people believe that it is good luck to have noodles that are very long, because it is an indication of having a good, long life. Other people might call this superstitious - believing in something that is not true and not based on fact.
Either way, I like long noodles and I want to have a long life, so I think it is worth believing! :)
