After years of traveling to Japan, I developed a love for a nourishing bowl of noodles in broth. It became a tradition for me to meet with co-workers for noodles as soon as the flight landed. Although nothing beats the authentic noodles from Japan, this gluten-free Buckwheat Soba Noodle Broth reminds me of those special moments embraced in a beautiful country and culture.
