Zaru soba are buckwheat noodles made for cold dipping. They have a firm and smooth texture and do not stick together when cooked and rinsed in cold water. These noodles have a higher ratio of buckwheat flour (soba-ko) yielding more flavor and nutrients. Soba noodles have an amazing bite with a satisfying texture. Cold zaru soba is a quintessential part of hot summers with its cool and refreshing flavor.
Uses: Boil soba until desired texture is achieved. Rinse in cold (or ice) water until cool and drain thoroughly. Enjoy noodles in hot broth or cold with your favorite sauces such as tsuyu or ponzu.
