Fukui Buckwheat

Fukui Buckwheat

Fukui is one of Japan’s leading producers of buckwheat and soba buckwheat noodles. The small, flavorful, and highly aromatic soba grains are a distinctive feature of this native variety.
“Native” buckwheat refers to varieties cultivated in a given region; Fukui is the only prefecture of Japan that still grows native buckwheat prefecture-wide.
To bring out the best of the buckwheat’s flavor, all mills in Fukui grind their buckwheat using stone mills.
