In Japan, New Year celebrations begin on the evening of 31 December with a simple bowl of soba noodles in dashi broth and the ringing of a gong.
Nobuyuki Ura, the former head chef of Sushi-e, tells SBS Food, We eat soba noodles to say thank you for the year. While we re eating, we can hear the monks at the local temple hitting the gong 108 times, from 10pm until midnight.
In Buddhism, it s said that people have 108 undesirable mental states known as kleshnas. Ura-san explains, The monks hit the gong 108 times to try to remove the passions from the body.
However, times have changed and many young people now prefer to attend parties rather than stay at home and eat. Although, Ura-san says the father usually determines who can go out.
