Soba roughly translates into buckwheat from Japanese. Usually, when someone says ‘soba,’ people immediately remember soba noodles that are created from buckwheat flour mixed with water. Did you know that buckwheat is believed to signify resilient strength to the Japanese? Some believe that it is because of how fast buckwheat plant grows back despite it being blown away by wind or rain during rains.
One of the most well-known dishes of Japan would definitely be soba. You can easily find it in one of the mini food outlets in the populated regions of Kyoto or at a high-class restaurant in the high paced city of Tokyo. Dried soba is very easily available at supermarkets there as well. Though in its pre-packaged form, it doesn’t taste as satisfying as fresh hand-made soba. Soba is usually consumed regularly or made especially for different important events as well back at its homeland.
