越前水仙の里温泉「波の華」（美肌の湯と呼ばれているらしいが、自分にはあまり関係ないか）で入浴した後、帰り道にある福井在来種の蕎麦粉を使っている「佐介」という蕎麦屋さんで、手打ちの「おろしそば」（本日は十割）と自家焙煎のコーヒーセット（千円）を注文。

ほんとに美味しいお蕎麦だった。お店は平日11時から14時までしか開店しておらず、土日祝日は基本お休みらしいのだが、この日はたまたま営業していた。

店主の方も気さくで、カメラマンとこの店と「二足の草鞋を履いてるんです」と話してくれた。

帰宅後親戚の方が岡山のお土産 古見屋羊羹さんの「高瀬舟羊羹」を持ってきてくれた。羊羹好きとしては一度は食べたかったので、嬉しい。

9/22/2022 福井市の公民館に活動の様子を聞きに行ってきました。コロナ禍の公民館や、持続可能な地域づくりについて、示唆に富む話を伺うことができました。職員の皆さんには本当にお世話になりました。福井県名物の越前そばも美味しかったです！

I visited a community learning center (Kominkan) in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, and interviewed its staff. It was a good experience to hear informative stories about the activities of Kominkan, which aims to create a sustainable community. I would like to thank all the staff members who cooperated in this survey. I also enjoyed the "Echizen soba" very much. Echizen soba is a famous dish in Fukui Prefecture. This soba is unique because it is topped with lots of grated radish.

The buckwheat noodle restaurant "Urushiya" once offered their soba noodles with grated radish to Showa Emperor. But the restaurant was closed more than twenty years ago. Recently, I heard that the restaurant reopened this spring and saw its photos on Instagram from time to time. The retro-flavored atmosphere and the good reputations made me want to go to the restaurant, and I went there the other day.

Oroshi Soba おろし蕎麦

Quick and easy Japanese noodle recipe! Oroshi Soba is a refreshing chilled noodle dish served in a savory sauce and topped with grated daikon.

Everyone needs a quick meal that is fresh, nutritious, and delicious.  Oroshi Soba (おろし蕎麦) meets exactly the criteria when I need to cook up a healthy meal fast for the family. It uses basic Japanese ingredients like dried soba noodles, dried bonito flakes, scallion, and daikon radish.

When you’re in a hurry, but still want something simple yet satisfying, Oroshi Soba is a recipe you can call on.

Watch How to Make Oroshi Soba

Quick and easy Japanese noodle recipe! Oroshi Soba is a refreshing chilled noodle dish served in a savory sauce and topped with grated daikon.

What is Oroshi Soba?

Many of you probably already know “soba” is a Japanese name for buckwheat noodles.  If you’re not sure what is soba or what’s the difference between soba and udon noodles, you can read more here.

Once in a while I get a question about my favorite brand of soba.  To be honest, I didn’t particularly have one since soba brands are pretty limited here in the U.S. (or outside of Japan in general). However, I was recently introduced to Shinshu Inaka Soba – Komoro Shichibei (信州田舎そば 小諸七兵衛) by Hoshino Bussan (星野物産).

Shinshu Inaka Soba (信州田舎そば) – Komoro Shichibei (小諸七兵衛) by Hoshino Bussan (星野物産)

The noodles are a little bit wavy with a nice earthy flavor, and they have the absorbency to soak up the dipping sauce very well.  Unlike some soba noodles that tend to develop a mushy, starchy exterior, Shinshu Inaka Soba has a remarkable good bite that stands out immediately. Luckily my local Japanese grocery store Nijiya Market started carrying this brand. If you spot this soba noodle at your local Japanese grocery store next time, grab one and give it a try.

Now, “oroshi” means daikon oroshi (大根おろし), which is grated daikon in Japanese. We use grated daikon in many dishes including Saikoro Steak, Shrimp Tempura and Vegetable Tempura, Agedashi Tofu, Tamagoyaki, and Wafu Hambagu. Grated daikon gives a refreshing texture as well as a bit of spicy kick to the dish.

Delicious Katsuo Dashi for Oroshi Soba

For this recipe, I used Katsuo Dashi – dashi made simply with dried bonito flakes.  The intensity of katsuo dashi and the additional bonito flakes topping give lots of umami to this simple noodle dish.

If you’re vegetarian or vegan, feel free to omit katsuobushi topping, and swap the Katsuo Dashi with Kombu Dashi.

Echizen Oroshi Soba – Fukui Regional Dish

While I was researching online about typical Oroshi Soba in Japan, I learned that it is actually a regional dish in Fukui prefecture, located on the Japan Sea coast in the Chubu region of central Japan. I have never been to Fukui prefecture before, but Fukui prefecture which used to be called “Echizen” has the prefectural “representative food” called Echizen Oroshi Soba (越前おろしそば).

For Echizen Oroshi Soba, the soba noodles are handmade using local buckwheat, and the grated daikon is added to the dashi-based soup (In my recipe, I placed the grated daikon on top of noodles).  Before you eat, you would pour the chilled dashi soup containing grated daikon over the soba noodles.

The toppings are simple and similar to my recipe – katsuobushi and chopped scallion. What they focus on is the quality of soba noodles, the refreshing yet spicy daikon, and freshly shaved quality bonito flakes. It is a minimalist dish that allows each ingredient to shine.

Oroshi Soba

Quick and easy Japanese noodle recipe! Oroshi Soba is a refreshing chilled noodle dish served in a savory sauce and topped with grated daikon.

6 oz dried soba noodles (buckwheat noodles) ((170 g))

2 inches daikon radish ((200 g))

1 green onion/scallion ((for topping))

½ cup katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) ((for topping))

3 Tbsp tenkasu/agedama (tempura scraps) ((for optional topping))

1 Tbsp shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori) ((for topping))

Sauce

1 ½ cup water ((360 ml))

1 cup katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) ((10 g, or big handful))

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp mirin

3 Tbsp soy sauce

¼ tsp kosher salt

Gather all the ingredients.

In a medium saucepan, add water and bring it to near boiling point.

Add the katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and let it simmer for 15 seconds, and then turn off the heat. Set aside and let the katsuobushi steep for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel daikon skin and grate. Set aside.

Cut the green onion into fine rounds.

After 15 minutes of steeping, strain the katsuo dashi into a measuring cup. You should have 1 ¼ cup. If you don’t have it enough, add water.

Add mirin, sugar, and soy sauce.  Bring it to boil on medium heat and turn off the heat.

Mix well and taste it. If necessary, season with kosher salt.

Place the pot in iced water to cool the sauce down before transferring to the refrigerator (if you are planning to serve later on).

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Do not use small pot when cooking noodles. For cooking soba noodles, we do not salt the water. Also, remove the paper bands on bundles of soba noodles first. To cook all the soba equally, it’s best to prepare and have it ready to go.

Once the water is boiling, add the soba and quickly stir so the noodles don’t stick to each other. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Keep the water boiling on medium to medium-high heat.

Drain the soba noodles (you can reserve the soba water “Sobayu” for drinking). Rinse the soba noodles well under cold water to remove the starch.

Serve the noodles in individual dishes, and divide the sauce.

Now get ready for the toppings. Gently squeeze the grated daikon and place on top of the noodles (Don’t squeeze too hard and save some moisture so it’s more refreshing, but too much liquid will dilute the sauce). Place katsuobushi, tenkasu, green onion, and shredded nori. Serve immediately.
