About Oroshi Soba
Oroshi soba is a Fukui buckwheat-noodle dish with grated daikon. This prefectural recipe, published by Japan’s agriculture ministry, combines fresh soba with seasoned dashi, bonito flakes and chopped green onion.
Daikon gives a peppery bite against the savoury soy-seasoned broth. Sake and mirin round out the seasoning, while bonito contributes a fish flavour.
The noodles are served with the grated radish mixed into the broth and toppings above. This profile selects the cold presentation described as customary in Fukui, including during winter.
