Nishimonai Soba
Nishimonai Soba, known for its smooth texture and easy swallow, is passed down in Nishimonai, Ugo Town, a place famous for its Bon Odori dance. Its origins trace back to Yasuke Soba-ya, founded in 1818. The founder, Yasuke, trained in buckwheat noodle making in the sunagaba of Osaka. On his journey back, he encountered Hegi-soba in Niigata and brought back the technique of using funori as a binding agent. The method of eating firm noodles made with funori served with cold sauce, known as 'hiyagake,' has remained unchanged for over two hundred years. The food culture brought by the Kitamaebune shipping route lives on in this single bowl. With its cool texture and substantial firmness, it is a proud local flavor of Ugo Town that you should enjoy alongside seasonal local mountain vegetables.
