Soba Boro are traditional Japanese cookies that are made from buckwheat and have a hard, biscotti-like texture. They are a historic confection that’s very famous and local to the city of Kyoto.

Kawamichiya, a shop with over 300 years of history in Kyoto, based their Soba Boro recipe off of Soba noodles made with 100% buckwheat flour. They decided that taking their family-secret soba noodle recipe and turning it into a confection would be a great idea, and they were not wrong.

Usually, Soba Boro cookies contain a half-and-half mixture of buckwheat and wheat flours, but these particular cookies use a higher ratio of buckwheat flour, so you can enjoy the aroma and nuttiness of buckwheat. They also come in cute plum blossom and round shapes.

Enjoy the authenticity of these traditional cookies and the nutty aroma from the buckwheat flour. These cookies will pair perfectly with a cup of hot green tea.
