Taishu Soba

Made with only buckwheat flour and no binding agents—this is Tsushima's Taishu Soba. Tsushima is an island with little flat land, making it unsuitable for rice cultivation, so buckwheat has been grown here since ancient times. It is said that buckwheat arrived in Japan via the Korean Peninsula through Tsushima and spread to various regions; because of its isolation as a remote island, this native variety has been passed down almost in its original form without crossbreeding with other varieties. Although the grains are small, they are uniform, characterized by a high aroma and a subtle bitterness. In 2018, it became the first product in Nagasaki Prefecture to be registered for Geographical Indication (GI). Savoring a handmade bowl in the town of Izuhara evokes a sense of travel with its simple yet powerful aroma. Please verify this flavor, close to its original species, with your own palate.
