蕎麦:SOBA; is translated as buckwheat. But I'm not sure buckwheat is exactly the same as SOBA. Like as sometimes WASABI is translated as horseradish which is different from WASABI.

here is SOBA treated in the first stage cleaning the surface.



Then milling.

To make the SOBA noodle, Knead it first.



And cut it into noodle.



You can buy SOBA noodle in the food shop instead.

As shown above, YAKISOBA is very popular casual food in Japan. It is much more usual in Japanese life than RAMEN.

Why YAKISOBA is not popular for foreign people? Because YAKISOBA is very easy to cook and never failed, so Japanese people cook YAKISOBA in their home. There would be smaller market for restaurant only for YAKISOBA compared with RAMEN.

Look Japanese food Menu for YAKISOBA or grilled noodle and try YAKISOBA today!

In my country( Italy) it can be found in the supermarket something very similar to the soba it is called saikebon and it should be noodle ready to be eaten after a few minutes cooked in the microwaves ... but honestly I can't harldy say how do they taste because I've never bought them before ... maybe I could try them and then say if they are good or not.
Well the ingredients to make japanese food can be found here but ... cooking japanese food is definitely another thing. I bet is quite difficult. For a foreigner I mean.

I've heard there is some food using SOBA (or Buckwheat) in Italy. Do you know about it?

Also, I've heard there is Garret in France made from buckwheat.

Ah now I've learned what soba is ... in my country is called grano saraceno . We use it for many things then... from bread to pasta to cookies etc... soba is used above all to made food for people that doesn't like too much preparations with white flour and wants to eat more healthy food. Sure in France I can confirm ( I live in the North of the Country not too far from France boundaries so I went there some times )

You mean sometithing like rice cakes right ? Actually we have them too in the stalls of the supermarket with healthy foods.


Anyway the ready meal I was referred to was this one
