Shinano Town Soba
The soba of Shinano Town is renowned as 'Kirishita Soba,' nurtured by the mist. The highland area at the foot of Mt. Kuroki, with elevations between 500 and 700 meters, is a 'mist zone' where morning fog easily forms due to large temperature fluctuations between day and night. It is said that this morning mist gently protects the buckwheat, which is sensitive to frost. The volcanic ash soil is rich in minerals and provides excellent drainage, cultivating high-quality, aromatic soba. During the Edo period, it was transported from Shinshu to Edo, gaining fame as 'Kirishita Soba.' A bowl of noodles kneaded with Shinano Town buckwheat flour offers an exceptional aroma that clears the senses and a smooth texture. When enjoyed as chilled zaru soba, the flavor of the buckwheat becomes even more pronounced. Please experience the true prowess of Shinshu soba, refined by the cool highland air.
