Discover the art of making soba noodles, a traditional Japanese superfood rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Learn about Japan’s food culture as you prepare and enjoy this nutritious dish.
Begin by selecting high-quality buckwheat flour and kneading it into dough. Gradually add water, carefully observing the dough’s texture. Once kneaded, use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough into thin sheets, taking care not to tear the delicate noodles.
Next, use a special soba knife to cut the dough into thin, even noodles. Cook the noodles in a large pot and enjoy them in various ways: warm in a flavourful broth, chilled with a dipping sauce, or paired with toppings like spring onions, grated radish, and wasabi.
After savouring your homemade soba, enjoy a traditional tea ceremony with premium matcha and Kyoto sweets.
