This instant toshikoshi soba is made from whole buckwheat seeds organically grown by Ichikara Farms, which gives the noodles a nutty, buttery flavor. The soup, which is made without preservatives, is full of flavor thanks to the addition of umami-rich ingredients like soy sauce, bonito flakes, and kelp powder. Slurping these noodles helps to enhance the aroma and taste and is also considered a compliment to the chef! Ichikara Farms is located in Uonuma in the snow country of Niigata Prefecture. The area was devastated by a large earthquake in 2004, yet the founder was able to transform an abandoned pasture into 30 hectares of organic buckwheat farmland while also supporting the local farmers and producers throughout his supply chain. Suggested uses: Boil 450ml (~ 2 cups) of water, add the noodles, and boil for 2½ mins. Prepare the soup by mixing the soup powder and 350ml (~ 1 ½ cups) of boiled water in a bowl. When the noodles are cooked, drain the hot water and add the noodles to the soup.
