Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When making kelp broth, lower the heat as soon as the water begins to bubble vigorously to prevent slimy mucilage and maintain a clean flavor.
  • An important tip: never boil bonito flakes—doing so will result in bitter, unpleasant flavors. Always use residual heat to extract their aroma and taste.
  • Letting the boiled noodles rest covered after turning off the heat ensures they cook evenly throughout, while rinsing under cold water preserves their chewy, bouncy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to master a deep, authentic Japanese-style buckwheat broth instead of store-bought soup bases.
  • People seeking a clean, refreshing bowl of noodles that cools you down from the inside out during hot summer days.
  • Anyone wanting to experience buckwheat noodles enhanced with grated cucumber for a refreshing texture and unique detoxifying touch.
