Thin, firm buckwheat soba noodles cling to a spicy sesame and chicken broth in the signature mera-mera bowl for intense heat and earthiness. The gluten-free noodles provide a nutty base that absorbs the bold, fiery seasoning without overpowering the simplicity. Cold dipping soba offers a refreshing alternative with salty chicken broth on hotter days. Texture and spice build progressively for a deeply satisfying slurp.
