Kintou 50% Buckwheat Soba: the elegance of Japanese buckwheat combined with the robust flavour of Hokkaido wheat. These premium-quality Soba noodles, produced by Tanaka Bussan, fall into the ‘jokyu' (上級) category, a guarantee of rare finesse and elegance. Made with 50% Japanese buckwheat flour, they offer a perfect aromatic balance between the characteristic nutty notes of the grain and the mildness of the wheat. The use of Yumechikara wheat flour, native to Hokkaido, serves as a premium binding agent and gives the dough a particularly satisfying elasticity and bite. This blend ensures excellent hold during cooking, whilst preserving the rustic and authentic profile of traditional soba. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Gastronomic applications: These soba noodles are an exceptional staple for Japanese and fusion restaurant menus. They are traditionally enjoyed as ‘Zaru Soba' (cold, served on a bamboo tray) to appreciate the purity of the buckwheat, accompanied by tsuyu sauce, wasabi and spring onions. They are also excellent served hot in "Kake" broth, where they absorb the umami flavours without losing their texture. For a contemporary twist, they can be used in cold salads with sesame oil and ginger, or served with a duck breast. ► Preparation: The recommended cooking time is 4 to 5 minutes in unsalted boiling water. A crucial step for professionals is to rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold water immediately after cooking to remove the surface starch and set their springy texture. ► Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from light. Once opened, ensure the packet is sealed tightly to preserve the flavours and the suppleness of the dry pasta. Location in store: Epicerie fine
