I just had my soba noodles and it seems like the right way to start this particular new year. It's got me thinking that maybe my New Year's resolution will be to have soba once a month. There's a simplicity that is so grounding -- in a way that you realize you don't need anything else but that moment and soba. It'll aso give me a reason to find good soba noodles and either make or find a good tsuyu (dipping sauce).
Soboku -- a quality Japanese people treasure that means to be simple, natural, modest and elegant in an unadorned way
