Aoi Foods Ho no Kuni Stone-Milled Soba 320g — buckwheat noodles from Aoi Foods' 「大地の恵み穂の國」 premium line, made with 100% domestic stone-milled buckwheat flour. Stone milling grinds the groats slowly and at low temperature, which is the traditional way of keeping the aroma and colour of the buckwheat in the flour.

What soba is
Soba (そば) is the Japanese buckwheat noodle — thin, firm and nutty, and eaten year-round both chilled and hot. Most soba blends buckwheat flour with wheat flour, which is what gives the noodle its structure.
How to use & enjoy
Soba 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 cold as zaru soba, the drained noodles go on a bamboo tray with a cup of tsuyu for dipping, garnished with shredded nori and sliced spring onion. Served hot as kake soba, 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.
