Hokutosei New Soba Festival

About this event

Held to promote Miwa's specialty Hitachi Autumn Soba and to express gratitude to customers, the Hokutosei New Soba Festival offers visitors a taste of freshly harvested soba made with highly aromatic Hitachi Autumn Soba buckwheat. A limited supply of 400 servings of kenchin soba will be served for 300 yen, with a special 100-yen discount applied to purchases of 2,000 yen or more made on the day. Three live soba-making demonstrations by local buckwheat noodle enthusiasts will also take place, giving visitors a close-up view of traditional soba-making techniques. In addition, live jazz performances, an opening ceremony with remarks by the mayor, and an entertaining rock-paper-scissors tournament are planned to liven up the venue. Free distribution of buckwheat husks (planned for 100 bags on a first-come, first-served basis) and sales of fresh handmade soba noodles (limited to 100 packs at 650 yen) will also be held. As parking is limited and congestion is expected, using public transportation is recommended. The direct-sale farm market, restaurant, and shop will operate as usual.
