Okuizumo Soba
Izumo Soba is one of Japan's three major soba varieties, and among them, the soba from Okuizumo is regarded as exceptional. Okuizumo Town is a mountainous area with high altitude and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. This cool climate and pure water cultivate highly aromatic, high-quality buckwheat. Because it is produced using the 'hikigurumi' method—where the buckwheat is ground with the hull intact—the color is darker, and the amount of flour used as a binder is minimal. This results in soba that is rich in both nutritional value and flavor. Enjoying it as 'Warigo Soba,' served in a three-tiered lacquerware container, is unique to Izumo. By placing condiments on each tier and pouring the dipping sauce over them, you can fully enjoy the authentic aroma and firm texture of the soba. It is a prideful taste from this bountiful land, also famous for its Nita rice.
