Komoro Soba
As you slurp the noodles, the aroma of stone-milled buckwheat drifts through your nose. Dipping the chilled noodles into a fragrant dipping sauce—it is a luxurious dish to savor in the highland town of Komoro. Komoro is a land where buckwheat fields spread across altitudes of nearly 1,000 meters. The high-altitude climate, characterized by frequent fog and significant temperature fluctuations, is perfect for growing buckwheat. As a town that flourished as a castle town and a post station, many long-established soba shops have taken root in Komoro. It is even noted by the literary figure Shimazaki Toson that 'soba is a specialty of Komoro.' Homemade, hand-kneaded soba continues to be preserved as a point of pride for the town. A light, refreshing sauce and a satisfying texture that releases a wonderful aroma. This is the taste of Komoro, refined by history and the highland climate.
