Soba is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is
served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle
soup. Moreover, it is common in Japan to refer to any thin noodle as
soba in contrast to udon . It takes three months for buckwheat to be
ready for harvest, so it can be harvested four times a year, mainly in
spring, summer, and autumn.
In Japan, soba noodles are served in a
variety of settings: they are a popular inexpensive fast food at train
stations throughout Japan, but are also served by exclusive and
expensive specialty restaurants. Markets sell dried noodles and
men-tsuyu, or instant noodle broth, to make home preparation easy.
