Hand Crafted Soba

Soba (buckwheat based) is the preferred noodle in the Kanto region in Japan, whereas, in the Osaka region, udon (wheat based) noodle is eaten widely. I had the freshest hand-made soba ever in my life in a restaurant in Kamakura. I watched the chef making it from scratch and ate it hot in a soy based broth. I was told that to enjoy a bowl of soba, you should not chew the soba noodles too much and you should feel comfortable to make noise when slurping the noodles.
