After Six Months of Trials, Our Hot Soba Is Reborn as "Flat-Cut" Noodles

"Could there be a noodle that draws out more of the tsuyu's umami?" — from that single question, we spent more than six months crafting trial after trial of the hot soba noodle.

Thickness, width, and bite. Searching for the one strand that would sit most naturally with SOBAQ's tsuyu, we arrived at the flat-cut noodle.

From Wednesday, July 15, 2026, hot soba goes "flat-cut"

From Wednesday, July 15, 2026, we change our hot soba noodle from thin-cut to flat-cut. The wider surface of the flat noodle carries our bold, Kanto-style tsuyu more fully. With each slurp, the aroma of the soba and the umami of the broth rise together — a new way to enjoy hot soba at SOBAQ.

Cold soba remains as ever — black-sesame nama-soba, thin-cut

Our cold soba stays as it is, with the same thin-cut black-sesame nama-soba you know. Enjoy each — hot and cold — in the form that suits it best.
