Soba of Unnan
Clear air and water from the mountains. A bowl of Unnan soba is packed with the essence of this natural environment. Unnan City is located in the mountains of the Izumo region, where a climate with large temperature fluctuations between day and night is ideal for growing buckwheat. The soba grown here is highly aromatic and rich in flavor. Following the tradition of Izumo soba, which uses the 'hikigurumi' method (grinding the buckwheat with its husk), the noodles are dark in color and offer a firm, chewy texture. Enjoying it as Warigo-soba (served in stacked lacquerware bowls) or Kamaage-soba (boiled and served hot) is a unique experience of Izumo. When the season for new soba arrives in autumn, local soba shops and soba festivals bustle with many people. A bowl enjoyed with cold dipping sauce feels as though it brings the very blessings of the Unnan mountain villages directly to you.
