Local restaurants handcraft soba (thin noodles made from buckwheat flour) as part of the famous local cuisine in the Kitakata area. Despite its small size, Yamato remains\u00a0one of the top 5 buckwheat planting areas in Japan. Local producers rely on the\u00a0pure mountain water from Mt. Iide, the suitable climate for buckwheat, and 100% locally grown ingredients to produce\u00a0fresh and delicious soba.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buckwheat makes\u00a0a darker colored noodle than the wheat used for ramen. Enjoy the\u00a0exquisite aroma and subtle\u00a0flavor of soba noodles\u00a0in\u00a0hot soup\u00a0or cold with only a soy sauce based dipping sauce. Soba fans\u00a0from near and far come to Yamato to enjoy its particular soba specialities, including deep-fried sweet soba manju dumplings for dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n
