Touji soba is made by placing boiled soba noodles in a woven bamboo basket, then dipping the basket and soba noodles into a hot pot of boiling various ingredients, and eating it quickly heated like shabu-shabu. Seasonal vegetables such as wild plants and mushrooms are added to the soup.<\/mark><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe soba noodles are divided into small portions and heated only as much as you want to eat, so they won't get soggy until the end.
