Hitachi Aki Soba

As you slurp the noodles, a rich aroma first fills your nose. The more you chew, the more a subtle sweetness follows. With its abundant fragrance and deep sweetness, Hitachi Aki Soba is known as the 'pinnacle of brown buckwheat' and is a pride of Ibaraki. It originated from native species in Kanasago, Hitachiota City, Ibaraki Prefecture. This variety was meticulously selected and cultivated by the prefectural agricultural experiment station over more than three years; it is renowned for its large grains, uniform size, and beautiful dark brown appearance. Soba connoisseurs travel from outside the prefecture just to seek out a single bowl. We recommend enjoying freshly kneaded and freshly boiled noodles exactly as they are—to truly savor the rising aroma.
