Soba, or buckwheat noodles, are a Japanese favorite on both cold and hot days.

In Izushi, a castle town popular for its nostalgic atmosphere of old Japan, Izushi Sara Soba is their specialty.

While soba is usually served in large dishes, Izushi Sara Soba is served in small portions on small plates.

In 1980, the Japanese government designated it as a traditional handicraft.

With soba being a staple in this small historical town, why not learn how to make your own soba from scratch from an experienced artisan?

Starting from freshly-ground buckwheat flour, mix the dough with water, knead it, stretch it, fold it, cut it, and boil it with the help of an artisan.

Afterwards, enjoy your soba with chilled Japanese soup stock called dashi, daikon (radish), grated yam, wasabi (Japanese horseradish), spring onions, and/or raw egg.
