Ikeda Oroshi Soba
Enjoy Fukui's soul food, 'Oroshi Soba,' in the nature-rich Ikeda Town. In the mountainous Ikeda Town, many farmers still cultivate heirloom buckwheat varieties and make their own noodles by hand. Fukui is a rare 'heirloom buckwheat kingdom' where traditional varieties grow throughout the prefecture. The significant temperature fluctuations and pure water produce buckwheat grains that are highly aromatic, small, and firm. The Fukui style is to enjoy these noodles with a generous serving of grated spicy radish (karai-daikon). The rich aroma of the buckwheat combined with the sharp pungency of the radish creates a simple yet addictive bowl unique to Ikeda Town. Slurping them with cold dashi, you can almost feel the cool air of the mountain village. Please come and taste it for yourself.
