How We Make Our Soba…
Our Soba Noodles are made from stone milled organically grown Kitawase buckwheat flour from Hokkaido and Washington. We make our noodles fresh daily, entirely by hand, Teuchi soba. Our soba is typical Edo (old name for Tokyo) style Nihachi Soba, which is a blend of 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour. We are also make Juwari soba, which is made with pure buckwheat flour and water, and uses no binder. The uneven shape of the noodles is the result of hand cut labor. We hope you enjoy the nutty fragrance and texture of our fresh artisanal soba noodles.
