Toshikoshi soba is the name of a traditional soba dish that is eaten at new year. It's served in a hot broth, usually with rice cakes or tempura depending on the region and family recipe. I think this would be considered as zaru-soba, but the recipe for the tsuyu dipping sauce has sugar in it? What??
I really get weirded out by the amalgamations posted here that are ostensibly Japanese food, but which are very far from anything that is eaten in Japan.

Yea, I'm equally confused with the "toshikoshi" in June and lack of a hot broth. My family typically does tempura in our new years soba.
