Cooking tips

  • Tsuyu brands vary in saltiness and concentration, so always check the package for the recommended dilution ratio.
  • If you don't have hondashi, a small amount of tuna extract can substitute to supplement the missing umami and richness.
  • The grated daikon is essential for the refreshing and digestive qualities of soba, so never skip it.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a cool and clean noodle dish easily at home on a hot summer day.
  • Those who want to recreate the taste of store-bought Japanese zaru soba at a very low cost.
  • Those who want to enjoy soba with a richer flavor by adding deep umami to the existing tsuyu sauce.
