Farm-to-table handmade Soba: Haru Soba

Key Points:

• Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat. It typically refers to thin noodles made from buckwheat flour or a combination of buckwheat and wheat flours.

• Soba noodles are served either chilled with a dipping sauce or in hot broth as a noodle soup.

• Try either version in the simple, clean ambience of this tiny 'farm-to-table' soba shop in the downtown area of Furano.

Not only does the owner Haru-san make the noodles on the premises by hand, his family proudly grows the buckwheat locally to make the noodle flour.

Stop by for a delicious handmade noodle meal at this spotless, 'hole-in-the-wall' soba shop.

Don't miss the daily handmade dessert, and also feel free to help yourself when leaving, to a bag of takeaway tempura batter pearls to add to your next bowl of soup!
