Mikuriya Soba introduction
Mikuriya Soba (みくりやそば, 御厨そば) is a traditional dish from the Mikuriya region in Gotemba City. This area has a history of cultivating buckwheat and wheat, which led farmers to create their own unique soba noodles without using water. Instead, they used grated mountain yam or wild yam. The soba is served with a broth made from chicken bones, and its simplicity and smooth, silky texture from the yam give it a rustic yet refined flavor. The soup features chicken stock as a base, with toppings like chicken, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms enhancing its warmth and heartiness. Definition of "Gotemba Mikuriya Soba": - The noodles must contain grated mountain yam or wild yam (the proportion is not specified). - The noodles must be handmade or produced within Gotemba City. - If water is used to make the noodles or broth, it must be sourced from Gotemba.
