Hegi Soba
Soba with a smooth texture born from the wisdom of textile weaving. Hegi soba is a specialty of Niigata, originating from Tokamachi and Ojiya cities. The binder used is a seaweed called funori. It is said to have originated when funori, which was used in this textile-rich region to add stiffness to thread, was repurposed as a binder for soba. A characteristic feature is the beautiful presentation in a wooden container called a 'hegi,' arranged for easy, bite-sized eating. The smooth texture unique to funori and its firm chewiness provide a distinct mouthfeel unlike any other soba. It is an unforgettable taste of the snow country.
