JAPANESE NOODLE 「Soba」
Soba are thin brown noodles made from a mixture of sobako (buckwheat flour) and wheat flour udon, which are made from wheat flour only, and are similar color to spaghetti but wider and softer.
Some soba dishes, such as seiro-soba, are traditionally served cold, with a side dish of soy based broth into which the soba is dipped before being eaten. Other soba dishes and most udon dishes consist of a bowl of noodles in hot broth together with various ingredients such as green onions, shiitake mushrooms, fried tofu, egg and chicken. The broth is made from soy sauce, mirin (sweet sake) , specially selected seaweed, dried Dry fish flakes and sugar.
Honke OWARIYA
Since 1465, Owariya noodle restaurant, originally a confectionary shop, has been loved by the people of Kyoto. Besides serving Kyoto restaurants throughout history, Owariya has also been patronized by the emperor's family and monks from Kyoto's historic temples. In the Edo period we served our noodles in the imperial palace, and even today, the royal family visits us when they come to Kyoto. We have been keeping our traditional tastes and serving from our hearts for over 530 years. We hope that you, too, will enjoy this tradition.
