530yrs ago,it was Muromachi-Period in japan. Samurai bushi fighten in a great struggle each other in order to control small land.
you might like the Kinkakuji temple built in those days. The tenple is covered with gold leaf so much. Very gorgeous!
By the way,i bought sweets in Kyoto before. I'm sure this is a kinda tough and thin cookie or biscuit. Amazingly the store standed in the 15 century-for about 530yrs ago.Very long standing.
Basically the shop deal with soba.
Do you know soba? :)Soba is made from this plant. Soba is made of soba floor.
(Fagopyrum esculentum)And another recipe, you might know 'galette' in France
The picture shows us the woman making soba. Seems to cut with a big knife.It is almost similar to make pasta,isnt it?

Hi Mami!
Vegetarian Spaghetti and crepes! Yummy and lovely pictures!
That's fascinating, Mami - thanks! How interesting that Japanese history is such a popular subject. The English name for the flour used in French galettes is 'buckwheat'. In French it's just called 'ble noir' (black wheat). So, is your soba what we call buckwheat?
Beautiful pictures!!
I agree with Michela, it looks delicious! XXX
The samurai time seems very romantic. Beautiful temple!
The cookie looks tasty. I had never heard of soba, but it does look like our pasta.
Floss might be right about Soba = Buckwheat.
I do love a bowl of cold soba noodles, with dipping sauce! おいしい
