Soba Noodles all the way. 2021 Year in Review A Masso Kano

Soba all the way. 2021 in review.
A Masso Kano

As in previous years, the year 2021 has been thrown into disarray by the Corona disaster. Many people may not really feel that the Olympics will be held this year. It is precisely because the memories of the past year are becoming vague that we want to end the year with Soba. The "New Year's Eve Soba" has been served since the Edo period (1603-1867), and is said to be a way of wishing that the hardships and misfortunes of the past year will not be carried over to the next year, but be cut off in one piece, just like Soba, which is easily broken off. There is a reason for this (there are various theories). What kind of year was 2021 for you? We welcomed Mr. Kano of A-Masso, who has been expanding his activities since his performance in "Women's Comedian No. 1 Contest THE W" (NTV) held at the end of 2020, and asked him to reflect on the year while sipping soba noodles.
