Soba
Soba is a type of Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is thinner than udon and has a slightly nutty flavor. Soba noodles are traditionally served in a broth or with a dipping sauce.
Soba noodles have been eaten in Japan for centuries. The first recorded mention of soba dates back to the 11th century. At that time, soba was considered a luxury food and was only eaten by the upper classes.
Soba became more popular in the 18th century when it was introduced to the common people by a Buddhist priest. He believed that eating soba noodles would bring good luck.
