Taishu Soba
The authentic flavor of buckwheat passed down since the Jomon period
Taishu Soba introduction
Taishu Soba (対州そば, Taishu soba) is a rare variety of buckwheat that is believed to have been introduced to Japan from the continent during the late Jomon period. Known for its exceptional taste and aroma compared to other varieties, it features a subtle hint of bitterness, embodying characteristics of its ancient origins. The grains are relatively small but dense, with a consistent size—hallmarks of Taishu Soba. In an era when buckwheat varieties have been extensively refined throughout Japan, the near-original buckwheat of Tsushima Island remains very precious. Following the traditional Tsushima style, Taishu Soba uses 100% pure, natural buckwheat flour without any binding agents. This method allows you to fully appreciate its unique texture, smooth finish, and the natural aroma and flavor of authentic soba.
