Teuchi Soba Restaurant Chojiya

In my shop, we mix buckwheat flour with binding flour, paying attention to the temperature, humidity, and dryness of the day. Based on years of experience, we decide how much hot water to add by feeling the flour. We pour in the water and knead it repeatedly with strength until it is formed into a large fig-like shape. On the work surface, we shape it into a large round form. Using three rolling pins, we roll out the dough thinly and then fold it before cutting it finely with a knife to finish the soba. In the past, we used boiling water to mix the buckwheat flour and binding agent. This method has been passed down by Teiji-ya, which is why we call it 'traditional.' The quality of the ingredients (using only domestically produced buckwheat flour) and the skill in making it are both important. Especially, love and care for the soba are absolutely necessary. On December 8, 1953, we received guidance from the master Naoto Minekichi from Matsumoto, Nagano, to open our shop. 'If it's soba, let it compete with the castle of Owari'—this phrase has been our management spirit since we opened. The most important thing about the taste of soba is 'not to lose the aroma of soba.' The aroma of soba is the scent of the fields, the taste is that of the mountains, and we strive for a chewy texture and good bite, aiming not to lose that essence. Although it is a great ambition, I wish to keep this feeling in mind and continue to work hard to preserve it. Teiji-ya Owner
