About Yamagata Soba
Yamagata Soba (山形そば, Yamagata soba), commonly known as "Ita Soba," is a type of soba noodle enjoyed widely across the inland areas of Yamagata Prefecture.
Its defining feature is that the noodles are served in a rectangular wooden box rather than on a traditional bamboo tray or steamer. This shallow wooden box enhances the noodles’ texture and flavor, bringing out their best qualities. Each strand is firm and chewy, offering an exquisitely satisfying bite.
