Noodle type: Soba noodle

Boiling time: 3 min.

Specific ingredient: Uji matcha from Itohkyuemon (Kyoto), buckwheat flour and wheat flour

Feature:
This refined soba features the rich aroma and elegant bitterness of authentic Uji matcha produced by the renowned Kyoto tea house Itohkyuemon. The noodles have a pleasantly firm and smooth texture, with a beautiful green hue that reflects the depth of Uji tea. Itohkyuemon is known for its dedication to quality, bringing out the true essence of Uji tea through its vibrant colour, fragrance, and delicate flavour. Enjoy the harmony of soba and matcha in every bite.

Cooking tip:
Bring more than 1 L of water to a full boil for every two bundles of noodles. Add the noodles gradually, and once the water returns to a boil, cook for about 3 minutes. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Drain promptly, rinse thoroughly in cold water, and serve chilled with dipping sauce as zaru soba (cold soba noodles with dipping sauce), or in a warm broth as kake soba (hot soba noodle soup).
