Soba & Soba Sushi Cooking Class in Osaka

Japanese soba is traditionally made using buckwheat flour, a highly nutritious grain that contains many health benefits, including the improvement of heart and gut health. Modern soba has been a popular dish in Japan since the Edo Period (1603–1868). Back in the day, traveling soba vendors used to carry portable soba stalls around and satisfy the late-night cravings of the people of Edo (now Tokyo) after restaurants closed down. Soba noodles were usually enjoyed alongside other Edo dishes and generous amounts of sake. Although soba is no longer a nocturnal dish, not much else has changed. Many still love to enjoy late-night soba noodles alongside generous amounts of sake, but it has also become a popular lunchtime meal for the busy working people of Japan.
