It carries the nutty, earthy character of buckwheat with a fresh, faintly grassy matcha note behind it, and cooks to a distinctive deep green. It is eaten the same ways plain soba is, and is especially popular served chilled, where the colour shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use \u0026amp; enjoy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoba is boiled, then enjoyed one of two ways: chilled and dipped into a cold soy-and-dashi sauce, or hot in a noodle broth.

Served hot as \u003cem\u003ekake soba\u003c\/em\u003e, they sit in a light dashi, soy and mirin broth. Wasabi and sliced spring onion are the standard condiments either way, and tempura — prawn or vegetable — is the classic accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheat flour, buckwheat flour, green tea (matcha), salt.
