A Local Specialty: What Is Daisen Soba?
The roots of Daisen soba reach back roughly 800 years. In the Kamakura era, Kiko Shonin, a renowned monk of Daisenji Temple, is said to have performed a sacred ritual before the Emperor while still wearing his straw cape and hat, healing the Emperor's illness. The episode came to be remembered as "the secret rite of the straw cape."
Kiko Shonin also distributed protective charms for cattle and horses to his followers, and is said to have encouraged livestock grazing and soba cultivation across the wide foothills of Mt. Daisen. This became the origin of the "Daisen Cattle and Horse Market," later regarded as one of Japan's three great livestock markets.
Since then, soba-making has lived on in the foothills of Mt. Daisen, with a distinctive method that grinds the buckwheat all the way to its inner husk. The result is a deep, dark color and a rustic, full-bodied flavor — "Daisen Soba" as it reaches our table today.
