A timeless taste shaped by centuries of tradition
For over 1,200 years, soba has been a cherished part of Japanese cuisine. Its preparation has evolved over the centuries, and with the introduction of wheat flour blending techniques, soba took on the familiar form we know today. Regional climates and cultures throughout Japan have shaped its many local flavors and cooking styles.
