Our "Mt. Fuji" box contains up to 20 authentic Japanese snacks along with a surprise free gift.
Soba is made from buckwheat seeds, a grain; buckwheat pollen has been found in ruins dating back more than 9,000 years, and is said to have a history older than that of rice. Originally, buckwheat flour was eaten in various ways. In ancient times, buckwheat grains were eaten as is as porridge, but since the spread of "soba-kiri" (buckwheat noodles), "soba" has come to mean buckwheat noodles made into noodles.
Today, soba is usually eaten with soy sauce-based dipping sauce or dipped in sauce. Soba is rich in vitamin B1 and essential amino acids, and has been valued as a nutritious food since ancient times. It can also be used as a substitute for wheat flour, making it a great alternative grain option for gluten-free consumers.
