Cooking tips

  • 100% buckwheat noodles lack the gluten found in wheat flour, so they can easily crumble if stirred vigorously in boiling water. Be cautious.
  • Instead of using store-bought sauce as is, mixing 30% sauce with 70% homemade katsuobushi broth or water creates a much more refined flavor.
  • Dipping the entire bundle of noodles into the sauce can make them too salty. The proper way is to pick up a small portion of the spread-out noodles and dip only the ends lightly.
  • Don't discard the noodle water, which is infused with a rich buckwheat aroma. After your meal, adding it to the leftover sauce creates a nutty, refreshing finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a hangover dish that gently soothes the stomach after drinking, a 'sunju-humyeon' style meal.
  • Those who want to fully enjoy the nutty aroma and texture of pure buckwheat noodles, which are prone to breaking.
  • Those who want to enjoy buckwheat noodles like a professional by adding details like noodle water dilution to a simple sauce.
