The first restaurant I will introduce in my weblog is not a Sushi restaurant but a restaurant specialized in Soba (Buckwheat Noodles).

Soba is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle soup.

How many Italian restaurants prepare pasta (make pasta) by themselves?
You can please your apetite with their fresh homemade Soba at this restaurant.
Dried soba is sold in Japanese grocerry stores and some American Super Markets like whole foods, and restaurants in US and Canada usually boil the dried soba. These restaurants do not make Soba by themselves which of course we never find it in Japan, and it makes the taste significantly different.

If you already like Soba, you must try this restaurant. If you have never tried Soba before, I suggest you to try it. I found a recipe just in case you would like to try at home before you try at this authentic Japanese Restaurant specialized in Soba.
