Izumo Soba Noodles, 7.05 oz

Nama Soba

The soba is not dried and very easy to cook in water or even in dashi which takes only 3 minutes. The texture and flavor give its unique soba taste especially in hot dashi with its soba yu ( boiled saba water). Most dried soba noodles do not give good soba yu but this Izumi nama soba successfully does. My husband and I are Soba lovers and are very satisfied with this Izumo soba. One of my friends is from Shimane prefecture said people living in the area do not rinse soba noodles after boiling and eat them as they are in hot dashi broth. Therefore the noodles are sticky and the soup is dense, of course. She said that is Izumo way. I was impressed by her story and like the way to eat especially in cold winter season.
