１．We are using domestic Gen Soba, which means that Buckwheat remained with outside black colored hard husk.
(Gensoba means that Buckwheat remained with a husk )

Soba eaten commonly in Japan is used buckwheat graind most part of it, using only inside white portion.
However, Gensoba eaten as local cuisine in Izumo area is used whole buckwheat, included a hard dark colored husk which contains minerals, vitamins, and other nutrition abundantly! For that
reason, gensoba is a darker colored, more flavorful tast and chewy, however soba has many kinds and come out differently, so it’s all depending on a degree of grinding :what part of
buckwheat will be used, how huch to be grinded, and combination of natural condition and so on.

“With regard to the domestic gen soba, for the management of post-harvest is good in condition, it is more high quality in flavor and chewy compared with foreign imported buckwheat.

So we uses the domestic buckwheat only in our restaurant! “

２．Selected buckwheat, Freshly ground, Fresh out, Freshly boiled” and Self-milled buckwheat flour is…

We make a homemade flour used by using a millstone.
The reason why we use the a millstone is that the heat generation is suppressed by grinding at a slower rotation. So that we can make a buckwheat flour in high quality without losing a flavor.
And we grind the buckwheat flour by the amount we use every day!

We want to offer delicious buckwheat to all who enjoy eating our Soba!

３．Buckwheat flour at Soba Godo

Skin (husk) of buckwheat is dark brown colored, but inside seed is white colored and cuticles are pale green colored.
In our restaurant, we use whole grain (the part from the seed of nucleus of buckwheat to the cuticle),
We do not almost use the buckwheat husk

４．Healthy homemade sauce

We use a handmade source based on a fresh soy source with clause, which is a little salty tast because of no additives such as chemical seasoning at all.
