soba
Does Japanese soba go well with yakisoba sauce? Will it hold up in a frying pan? We find out!
There’s one surprising aspect of working at a 120-year-old Japanese restaurant that has everyone wanting to work there.
Our resident soba expert ate at over 200 soba spots in the greater Tokyo area, and here are his top picks.
An extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-large order.
SoraNews24’s resident soba expert finds out what happens when an American coffeehouse whips up some Japanese buckwheat noodles in Hong Kong.

Their location is also pretty inconvenient, so is their leek and meat soba worth calling in sick for?
These plastic warriors are trawling for a brawling, cruising for a bruising, and sampling for a trampling.
Our Japanese-language reporter heads to Akihabara to see why this bowl of noodles scored its creators a Bib Gourmand, and leaves both stuffed and smiling.
If you know where to look, you’ll be able to try a jugful of noodles that nobody wanted the owner to create.
