We’re no strangers to the magnificence of a good bowl of soba. While we’ve always been content to let the noodle masters feed us up until now, a new product almost on the market may finally give us the chance to become soba masters ourselves.
Japanese toy and entertainment company Takara Tomy will release its Soba-Making Master (そば打ち名人) on July 29 for a suggested retail price of 4,378 yen. The set originally appeared back in 2014 and is being re-released in light of the increased amount of time many Japanese families have spent honing their cooking skills at home throughout the pandemic. It includes all of the specialized equipment and instructions necessary to make real soba noodles from start to finish in the comfort of your own kitchen (ingredients sold separately).
