Soba is a noodle made from the grains of the buckwheat plant. Soba noodles, also known as sobakiri,are divided into several types depending on the amount of soba flour used, such as juuwari(100% soba), or ni-hachi(two parts wheat to eight parts soba). Soba flour can further be categorized as sarashina soba(made with refined buckwheat) and inaka soba(made with whole buckwheat), among other types. The varieties of broth served with the noodles vary depending on the shop or type of soba used: thin soups, strong soups, spicy or sweet flavors. The most common way of eating soba is zarusoba, or chilled soba, served with a dipping sauce and seaweed sprinkled on top. Warm broth poured over soba noodles is also common.
