Nanto Soba
A highly aromatic soba noodle produced in the mountains of Gokayama. This is a prideful flavor unique to Nanto, nurtured by the cool climate and pure water. Since ancient times, Toga Village in Nanto City has been known as a major producer of soba. In this land, where there are large temperature fluctuations between morning and night, buckwheat grows with a rich flavor and firm texture. Throughout the mountain villages, there are renowned shops that do not spare any effort—grinding brown buckwheat, including the native Gokayama varieties, using stone mills and finishing them by hand. This taste can be described as the crystallization of village wisdom, turning the harsh nature to its advantage. With a smooth texture and an aroma that drifts through the nose, a bowl chilled sharply with cold mountain water leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.
