What is soba noodles?

In the first place, soba noodles are Japan noodles processed using buckwheat flour made from buckwheat grains, and dishes using them.

In Japan, it is a dish that is eaten all year round, but it has become a tradition to eat New Year's Eve soba on the night of New Year's Eve to carry good luck.

It is said that soba came to be eaten as food in the Jomon period.
