FAQ
The main difference between the two types of noodles is their flavor. Soba noodles are typically made with buckwheat flour, but ramen noodles are made from a more traditional wheat flour. This means that ramen noodles will be unsuitable for anyone with a wheat intolerance or who wishes to avoid gluten.
Soba (そば or 蕎麦, buckwheat) are Japanese noodles made primarily from buckwheat flour, with a small amount of wheat flour mixed in. It has an ashen brown color, and a slightly grainy texture. The noodles are served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or hot in a noodle soup.
Even today, more people eat soba on a regular basis there than anywhere else in Japan. Also, they eat a lot! While typically the average serve of soba for one person would be 80 grams in Tokyo, or 140 grams in my own restaurant in Niigata, in Nagano it ranges from 350-500 grams!
Sobayu is the hot water in which Soba noodles have been boiled. Soba is made from buckwheat and boiled before serving. When Soba is boiled, the contained nutrition such as vitamin B, potassium, dietary fibers and good quality starch dissolve out into the water.
Nutrition notes: Another healthy pasta choice, soba noodles look like spaghetti, but they're made with buckwheat, a protein-rich, gluten-free grain that can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Soba also contains roughly half as many calories as plain pasta, with 113 calories in 1 cup cooked.
