Soba refers to thin Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour, known for their nutty flavor, smooth texture, and light, earthy aroma. Served either hot in a light dashi-based broth (as in Kake Soba) or cold with a dipping sauce (Zaru Soba), soba is a versatile dish enjoyed year-round in Japan. It plays a symbolic role in New Year’s Eve celebrations (Toshikoshi Soba) to represent long life and letting go of the past. Soba can be topped with tempura, grated yam, raw egg, or green onions, and is particularly popular in Nagano and Tokyo regions.
