Soba

Along with sushi, soba is another typical Japanese food. During the Edo period, it was fashionable to dip the soba noodles a little at a time in a tasty sauce and slurp them up! The water used to boil the noodles in is called “soba-yu”. Some people like to dilute their dipping sauce with “soba-yu” and drink it like soup at the end.
