Takizawa Sarashina's hachiwari soba (八割そば) — an 80% buckwheat noodle made with a carefully-selected buckwheat blend and, unusually, no added salt. The result is a rich buckwheat aroma (そば粉の豊かな香り) and a crisp, firm bite (歯切れの良い食感). 250 g of dried soba.
About Takizawa Sarashina
Takizawa Sarashina (滝沢更科) is a soba brand from Takizawa Foods (滝沢食品) — a maker in Nagano (Shinshu), a region long famous for its soba, whose business dates back to 1913. Drawing on generations of noodle-making, the brand produces a range of soba to suit different tastes. It's distributed nationally through Nisshin Seifun Welna (日清製粉ウェルナ).
What's hachiwari
Hachiwari (八割) means an "eight-parts" blend — about 80% buckwheat flour to roughly 20% wheat. The high buckwheat proportion gives a pronounced, nutty buckwheat aroma, while the wheat binds the noodle for a firm, clean bite — the balance prized for good-quality soba.
How to use & enjoy
Soba is served chilled as zaru soba — cooked, rinsed cold for a firm springy texture, and dipped in a soy-and-dashi mentsuyu — or hot as kake-soba in a light dashi broth. With no added salt in the noodle, the seasoning comes from the dipping sauce or broth. Classic condiments are wasabi, chopped green onion, and shredded nori.
