Why Soba?
At Jojosoba, we're passionate about bringing the authentic taste and health benefits of buckwheat soba to our community. But why soba, you might ask?
Soba isn't just delicious; it's a nutritional powerhouse. Buckwheat, the main ingredient in our soba, is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals. It's naturally gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, making it a great choice for everyone, including those with gluten sensitivities or those managing their blood sugar levels.
Buckwheat: Not Your Average Grain
Here's a fun fact: buckwheat isn't actually a grain at all! It's a seed that's used like a grain, making it a "pseudocereal." This unique plant has been cultivated for thousands of years, with evidence of its use dating back to 6000 BCE in Southeast Asia.
At Jojosoba, we celebrate this ancient food by crafting our noodles from 100% buckwheat flour, unlike many commercial soba noodles that mix in wheat flour. We believe in preserving the traditional methods and flavors that have made soba a beloved dish for centuries.
Our Mission: Promoting Regenerative Business
We're not just here to serve great food; we're on a mission to promote regenerative business practices that benefit our environment, strengthen our community, and improve your health.
- Environment: By sourcing our buckwheat from local, sustainable farms, we're supporting eco-friendly agricultural practices that improve soil health and biodiversity.
- Community: We believe in the power of food to bring people together. Our restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it's a hub for cultural exchange and community building.
- Health: By serving nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods, we're contributing to the health and wellbeing of our customers.

Our Unique Approach
At Jojosoba, we do things a little differently. We mill our own buckwheat flour in-house, craft our noodles by hand, and even ferment our own sauces. Why go through all this trouble?
This approach not only results in fresher, more flavorful dishes, but it also connects us more closely to our food and its origins.
