年越しそば Toshikoshi-soba Winter 2015 – 2016

Transcription

For your cultural life in Hiroshima
年越しそば Toshikoshi-soba
Toshikoshi-soba is buckwheat noodles customarily eaten on New Year’s Eve.
December 31st, which launches the start of the important New Year celebrations, is called ômisoka. It’s a
custom for families to eat hot buckwheat noodles (toshikoshi-soba) in the evening before midnight (but not
after). The name literally means ‘year-crossing noodles’ – in other words, seeing out the old year and
welcoming in the new.
Various reasons are given for this custom. One common explanation is that the length of soba noodles
symbolizes longevity. Another is that soba is easy to cut, so it symbolizes the cutting off of all the hardships,
troubles and debts of the year just ending. In the Edo period (A.D. 1603 – 1868), there was a custom of eating
soba at the end of every month for the same reason; it was called misoka-soba “last day of the month noodles”.
The custom also varies around the country. In some areas, people think thicker, longer udon (wheat flour
noodles) are more symbolic of longevity. And in Okinawa they prefer the thicker Okinawan version of soba
noodles (ryûkyû-soba). (Abstracted from『ニッポン風物詩』 p. 229, IBC パブリッシング)

Just one person’s bad manners cause a lot of trouble to others!
Stop Inappropriate Bicycle and Moped Parking!
自転車やバイクの放置をなくし住みよいまちへ（「ひろしま市民と市政・中区版」 H27.12.1 号）
Bicycles and mopeds that are carelessly parked on roads and in other public spaces cause trouble for many
other people, such as problems for pedestrians, obstructions for people in wheelchairs, inability for people with
blindness to access braille signage, impediments to rescue operations like firefighting and ambulance services,
blights to the city landscape, and more.
When just one person casually decides to leave their bike or moped somewhere for a short minute, it invites
more people to do the same and causes problems. Stop inappropriate parking!
INQUIRIES: Iji Kanri Ka (Maintenance Administration Division) Tel: 504-2577 Fax: 504-2554
Central Hiroshima City is a “Regulated Abandoned-Bicycle & Moped Area”

じてんしゃとうほうちきせいくいき
& Moped Areas, 自転車等放置規制区域. In the Naka-ku area, these areas include Kamiya-cho, Hatchobori and its
surrounding area, and the newly-opened Shin-Hakushima Station area.

including public roads, parks, open spaces in front of stations, etc., are strictly targeted for removal at any time

Garbage Disposal Information
Separate garbage properly and take it to the collection site by 8:30am on the

For further details, consult your local ward office or your neighbors to
be sure of the proper disposal method.
“Hiroshima 8”, a handbook on how to
separate garbage, and “Hiroshima City Garbage Disposal Guidelines for the 2015
fiscal year”, a garbage chart with schedules of garbage collection days, are
available at ward offices, branch offices and community halls. The Handbook
and Guidelines are translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and
Korean. These are also available at the International Exchange Lounge
