What is tororo soba (とろろそば)?
Tororo soba is a Japanese dish of soba topped with grated yam. Soba (そば) is a traditional Japanese noodle made mainly from buckwheat flour, and it comes in many styles, such as chilled zaru soba (ざるそば) and kake soba (かけそば), served in a warm broth.
Tororo soba (とろろそば) is soba topped with yam grated on a grater. The sticky, soft texture of the yam blends with the buckwheat noodles, giving you a light, nutty flavor together.
Where is Usagi Soba at Munjeong Station?
Usagi Soba (우사기소바) is on the basement level of Building E at M State, and that level connects directly to Munjeong Station. I come to Munjeong Station once or twice a month, and the basement level is actually bigger than the ground floor. It's called the basement, but since it links straight to the station, it's basically street level! So how about some chilled cold soba today?
It's also a popular Munjeong Station spot where you may have to wait.
