soba noodles

Cold dipping noodles

Soba noodles are thin Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour, often mixed with wheat flour.

They have a nutty flavor and grayish-brown color.

Soba can be served cold with a dipping sauce or hot in broth: We ordered cold soba with tempura.

The word soba is Japanese for buckwheat.
