Buckwheat Noodles

Buckwheat Noodles
Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour. As buckwheat contains no gluten, wheat flour is usually added to prevent the noodles from falling apart, although 100% buckwheat varieties are available. Soba comes in fresh and dried form, and can be eaten either hot in soup or chilled and served on a bamboo tray called a zaru, with a dipping sauce called mentsuyu. Chilled soba are often garnished with nori seaweed and eaten with wasabi horseradish to add a sharp, pungent flavour.

For the first time, hand-beaten Nihachi Soba noodles are available to defrost and refreeze. Nihachi literally means "two and eight" as this soba is made from two parts plain flour to eight parts Hokkaido buckwheat flour. These noodles retain all of their wonderful aroma, colour and flavour after freezing. In fact the freezing process improves the distinctive chewiness and bite of the soba which can be enjoyed in many ways, for instance chilled on a bamboo tray as zaru soba, in salads or fried.
