2年前知り合いから貰った石臼を活用して蕎麦粉を挽こうと思います。I would like to grind buckwheat flour using a millstone which I got from an acquaintance two years ago.
これは玄蕎麦と言いって、米でいう所の玄米みたいなものです。This is called Gen Soba, which is like brown rice in the case of rice.
これは丸抜きと言って、脱穀ししたものです。This is called “Marunuki,” or threshed buckwheat.
二つをブレンドします。I blend the two.
石臼で挽きます。I grind them with a millstone.
挽き終わったものは粉と殻が混ざっています。The finished product is a mixture of flour and hulls.
ふるいで殻を除きます。Remove the husks with a sieve.
挽きたての粉を練ります。The freshly ground flour is kneaded.
包丁で切って麺の完成です。Cutting with a knife completes the noodles.
茹でると短く切れてしまいました。田舎蕎麦は切れて普通らしいです。今後、試行錯誤しながら田舎蕎麦を打ち短く切れてしまいました。田舎蕎麦は切れて普通らしいです。今後、試行錯誤しながら腕を磨きます。After boiling, the noodles are cut into short pieces. It is said that it is normal for rural soba noodles to be cut. I will continue to improve my skills through trial and error.
フライパンで炒って蕎麦茶を作ってみました。香ばしいお茶が出来ました。つづく
I made buckwheat tea by frying the buckwheat. It made a nice aromatic tea. To be continued
Recently, I started making 100 percent soba noodles. I think it’s 100% more delicious. Her wife’s evaluation is also good, so I would like to give it a 100% rating.
I tried the handmade soba introductory course. This is the first day of a total of 4 sessions. I made 500 grams of 2-8 soba noodles. My back hurts because I’m not used to it. After finishing the cooking, I learned how to boil it and tasted it. I took home what I made and ate it right away at home. The soba noodles you make yourself are very delicious.

2回目の講習に行きました。雰囲気が少し分った気がします。
I went to the second course. I feel like I understand the atmosphere a little bit.
This is my third class. At the beginning of class, it’s time to watch O-sensei’s sample moves and steal techniques. It looks amazing when you look at it, but when you put it into practice, it falls apart. We add water to make it the perfect softness (water turning), but if you add too much water, you won’t be able to get it back to its original state, so you have to be very careful and it takes too much time. This water turning seems to be the key point (key to success). This time, all seven tables were occupied and the place was very lively.
Today is the final day of the introductory course. In the end I hit 750 grams. Graduation anyway? It’s over. In the future, I would like to try making it myself since I already have the buckwheat flour and tools (often given to me).
