Togakushi soba introduction
Togakushi soba refers to soba (soba) in Togakushi (formerly Togakushi village), Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture. Along with wanko soba in Iwate Prefecture and Izumo soba in Shimane Prefecture, it is said to be one of the three major soba in Japan. It is characterized by using buckwheat flour called “kigurumi”, which is only removed from buckwheat husks, and then rolled out round using a cotton swab. Because it is ground without taking the cuticle, it looks dark, and when eaten, the aroma of buckwheat is much better.
