Tsugaru Soba
Tsugaru Soba, often referred to as the 'phantom soba.' Its most defining feature is the use of gojiru—made from ground soybeans—as a binder. This method was developed in an era when rice was precious, as a way to supplement nutrition using buckwheat. The process involves kneading soybeans into buckwheat dough that has been rested for a full day and night, without adding any water or other binding agents. Because the preparation takes several days, the tradition had once faded after the war, but it was revived in 1997, primarily by local Japanese restaurants. It possesses a unique texture that is both soft and chewy with a good bite. This deeply flavorful bowl is a product of the time and care invested by the Tsugaru people, where the subtle sweetness of the soybeans harmonizes with the rich aroma of the buckwheat. Please enjoy the flavor that gently melts in your mouth.
