…How to eat soba?

　First, enjoy the scent of soba. Second, take a mouthful of soba. Then add spice, “Yakumi” to soup, “Soba-Tsuyu”.
　Yakumi is thin slice scallion, wasabi(Japanese horseradish) and red pepper.
　Next, eat soba making a moderate noise. It’s like breathing it in.
　It is better to eat soba in one gulp making a moderate noise. Then you may swallow soba after chewing about 3 time because soba is easy on your stomach, and enjoy its smooth texture.
　Savor the scent flavor and texture of soba. The more you eat soba, the more you understand its profundity. Soba is very sensitive food.
　As for the buckwheat noodles, I think eating without stopping makes your soba more delicious.
　Because labor of craftsmen is condensed in taste of buckwheat noodles, I would be glad if you can feel it.

店主からのお願い

弊店では、蕎麦（麺）は北海道、後志（しりべし）は蘭越産ソバ粉、旭川の西五〇キロ空知エリアの北竜町ソバ粉で打った『地物粉麺』がございます。

About our Yabuhan's soba-noodle.

　We make our soba-noodle from two different types of buckwheat flour.
　“Jimono-ko（地物粉）” is grown in Rankoshi about 100 km away from Otaru.
　“Nami-ko（並粉）” is blend of Rankoshi buckwheat flour and imported buckwheat from United States.
　Please choose either when you order.
　The price of “jimono-ko” soba is a little bit higher, but its great flavour and rich aroma are what make it so special.
　“Nami-ko”soba enjoys its popularity more than 60 years since the day of our establishment.
　As for the Rankoshi buckwheat flour we use, it is delivered the next day we order, and we make noodle from it every morning.
　About 100 soba restaurants invested jointly and bought a buckwheat field in Rankoshi, Hokkaido, and established a milling plant. This makes it easy for the restaurants invested jointly and bought a buckwheat field in Rankoshi, Hokkaido, and established a milling plant. 　This makes it easy for the restaurants to keep and serve fresh buckwheat noodle.
　Without the shining sun in summer, fertile and rich field in Hokkaido, and love and passion of buckwheat farmers and soba chef, this soba noodle can't exist.

* the price is excluding 10% tax.
