Koban

A tier

Koban is a Japanese-associated common buckwheat variety name appearing in soba-oriented cultivation—selected toward noodle quality, flavour, and regional growing conditions. Expect aromatic flour suited to soba rather than only pancake commodity grain. Seek for higher-end soba when origin and cultivar are listed. Freshly milled flour (kichisen spirit) matters as much as name. Blend ratios depend on artisan skill.
