The photograph I've picked is one of a dish called 年越しそば (Toshikoshi soba). There are no hard rules on what ought to be in or not be in this dish. It's pretty well anything goes. Some people have it hot, some have it cold. Some don't even use soba to make it (though that is more likely to happen outside of Japan). Nonetheless, this dish is traditionally what one eats to mark the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new year. It ought to be consumed prior to midnight on New Year's Eve but this year there was a bit of a delay in its preparation so it was consumed a few minutes late.
Anyways, all the best in 2014!
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.
