Soba is made from buckwheat flour. Its history dates back from over 1000 years ago. This is one of the famous Japanese foods. It has many vitamins, protein, and dietary fiber, so it’s very good for your health. There are two ways to eat soba: cold soba with sauce, or soba in hot soup. There are many hand made soba restaurants in Japan. We eat soba on New Years Eve (Toshikoshi Soba) in hopes of a long life, much like soba.
