Making juwari soba 十割そば (100% buckwheat noodles) is very difficult to master, and is best left to the patient and the experienced, qualities we do not yet possess.</p><p><b>Arame</b>: <a href='arame.html'>Arame</a> is a species of kelp of a dark brown color, it has a mild, semi-sweet flavor and a firm texture. Arame is reconstituted in about 5 minutes, and we like to add to many kinds of dishes. It is high in calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium and vitamin A. This recipe used to include <a href='dried_hijiki.html'>hijiki</a>, but we've since removed it because it contains potentially toxic quantities of inorganic arsenic. Japan is the only country that doesn't warn against its consumption. Arame seaweed doesn't share this toxicity, and is a good substitute in both texture and taste.</p></div><dl class='ingredients'><h3>main</h3><dt><a href='arame.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/arame.png'/><b>arame</b></a><u>handful</u></dt><dt><a href='soy_sauce.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/soy_sauce.png'/><b>soy sauce</b></a><u>30 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='sake.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/sake.png'/><b>sake</b></a><u>30 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='mirin.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/mirin.png'/><b>mirin</b></a><u>30 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='natural_brown_sugar.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/natural_brown_sugar.png'/><b>natural brown sugar</b></a><u>5 g</u></dt><dt><a href='buckwheat_noodles.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/buckwheat_noodles.png'/><b>buckwheat noodles</b></a><u>2 portions</u></dt><dt><a href='sesame_oil.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/sesame_oil.png'/><b>sesame oil</b></a><u>2.5 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='carrots.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/carrots.png'/><b>carrots</b></a><u>1</u></dt><dt><a href='garlic.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/garlic.png'/><b>garlic</b></a><u>2 cloves</u></dt><dt><a href='tempeh.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/tempeh.png'/><b>tempeh</b></a><u>60 g</u></dt><dt><a href='sichuan_peppercorns.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/sichuan_peppercorns.png'/><b>sichuan peppercorns</b></a><u>To taste</u></dt></dl><ul class='instructions'><li>Put <i>handful</i> of dried <a href='arame.html'>arame</a> in a bowl and cover with a cup of <a href='water.html'>water</a>.
