New Chicken Soba Coming to Hokkaido

Delicious Fried Chicken Soba Using Hokkaido Buckwheat

Starting from December 10, 2023, 7-Eleven Japan will introduce a tantalizing new menu item exclusively in Hokkaido: the Chicken Soba made from local Hokkaido buckwheat. This hearty dish, known as “かしわそば” (Kashiwa Soba), features thick noodles that are sure to satisfy your hunger during the chilly winter months.

The Perfect Noodle Experience

The standout feature of this Chicken Soba is its thick, chewy noodles, crafted from high-quality Hokkaido-grown buckwheat. Unlike regular soba, these thicker noodles offer a delightful texture that pairs wonderfully with the accompanying ingredients and broth, making it the star of the dish.

Savory Chicken Delights

The chicken in this dish is prepared with a sweet and rich sauce, ensuring that each bite is packed with robust flavors. Generously portioned, this chicken is designed to fulfill your cravings and provide a comforting experience as you warm up on cold days.

Flavorful Soba Broth

The soba broth is a harmonious blend of bonito and kelp extracted flavors, enhanced with the essence of boiled chicken. This savory, umami-rich broth complements the thick noodles perfectly, making each bite a pleasurable experience.

Additional Regional Offerings

Alongside the Chicken Soba, 7-Eleven will also offer two other unique Hokkaido-exclusive soba dishes:

1. Yubari Curry Soba (540 yen, including tax)
- This dish pays homage to the hardworking individuals from the “Coal and Iron Port,” where it provided essential energy during industrial times. Its thick curry broth is richly spiced, embodying deep flavors from both the broth and soy sauce.

2. Kakiage Soba (500 yen, including tax)
- A warm dish featuring the pleasant texture of the soba noodles, complemented by a richly flavored broth made from bonito dashi, creating a comforting meal that’s perfect for cold weather.

A Message from the Team

The creator of the Chicken Soba expressed a heartfelt desire to deliver a product that warms both heart and body to customers. The rich and comforting flavors aim to provide a sense of satisfaction and happiness, especially during the colder season. Enjoy the thick noodles soaked in hot broth, paired with abundant chicken for a fulfilling Hokkaido experience.
