Ending the Year With Buckwheat Noodles- A Deeper Look at Toshikoshi Soba (年越しそば)- again

It was obviously a convenient FAST FOOD for the busiest time of the year, and this might be a major reason why this custom has remained so universal in Japan ( though there are some regions where other Toshikoshi dishes are eaten, and I might add that buckwheat allergies are not rare, and obviously families with sufferers would opt for something else).
