Kake Soba (Buckwheat Noodles in Hot Broth)
Like soba keeping its buckwheat aroma as it soaks in broth, you go by feel and enjoy many things together.
Soba noodles are made by mixing buckwheat flour with a binder such as wheat flour, rolling the dough out and cutting it into thin strands. Buckwheat grows even in cold, poor soil and is ready to harvest a short time after sowing. Soba served in hot broth is called kake soba.
Just as some shops use very little binder to bring out the aroma of the buckwheat, you tend to make the most of what's good about things as they already are. And just as the noodles soak in broth in one bowl, you keep errands and time with people together rather than splitting them up.
Thin soba slips down easily. Rather than lining up reasons, you choose by how something feels. But when someone later asks, “Why did you go with that?”, you may struggle to put it into words.
