Hitotsu-bachi Soba SchoolSample

A soba school where you learn every step, from mixing to cutting, with Yatsugatake buckwheat flour.

This is a sample page. Hitotsu-bachi Soba School is a fictional place, and every detail on this page is a sample setting.

How to enjoy it

The most important step is the first one: working water into the flour little by little. Watch the teacher’s hands closely. Your soba is boiled on the spot, so taste a strand plain first to catch its aroma.
