How to Make Handmade Soba Noodles | Handcrafted | Bon Appétit 

notes: 1. our 10 fingers can feel 10 dimensions. 2. mix the dough by the 3 motions. Sand garden, Volcano, and Ocean. 3. rabbit poo poo. 4. cat's paws. 5. soba knife is made by a samurai sword craftsman.

My math teacher told me you couldn't turn a circle into a square, this man did it.

This are the best 20 minutes of unhelpful information of my life. I will never use any of this but I won't forget it till the I die.

I bet the dislike are from peoples hands who cant see 10 dimensions

*HIS HANDS CAN SEE TEN DIMENSIONS*

This has been without a doubt the best procrastination of my existence.

The danger of watching such an expert is how simple they make things seem. This man is so good you can barely comprehend how good he is...

"If you want to master soba noodles you need to train for ten years" is the most Japanese thing I've heard

How to make soba noodles at home: *Step1:Train for 10 years in Japan*

If you watch a 20 min youtube video without checking the time ONCE, you know it's a quality video.

"the internet has made people have an attention span of 3 seconds" *watches japanese dude chop soba noodles for 6 minutes*

honestly people who make these traditional dishes by hand and do it passionately and lovingly are so beautiful. look at this man with these beautiful hands and this beautiful soul. i stan

Me before watching this vid: “Ooooooh!! I’m gonna make this!!” Me after: “Screw it; what was I thinking?”

My uncle is a soba chef in Japan and I never thought much of it when there were leftover soba for dinner. I'll appreciate it more now...

That perfect egg shape turned into a perfect circle shape with hands and into an even more perfect circle with the rolling pin and then again into a perfect square on a zero gluten dough. I'd need to see more than 10 dimensions to do that!

I like how you know the dough is wet enough when it "feels like rabbit poo-poos"

Man this was amazing. You can really see how unforgiving that dough is. It wants to crack as he kneads it and you can almost feel it tear as he rolls over it. You have my respect man.

denim outfit, rabbit poopoo, cat paws... man he’s the cutest noodle man out there!

Onion has layers Women have curves *Noodles have dimensions*

Can we just appreciate how smooth that bowl is? lacquerware is gorgeous

"100% buckwheat, you break, cannot fix" *proceeds to break and then fix 100% buckwheat* The man really is a master.

I've never watched a video so Intense and Relaxing at the same time, a noodle Samurai.

I was so anxious this whole video because I was so worried the dough would break , he is so gifted, he produced something that involves a skill that not alot of people have and does it at such a high level xx You can feel his passion for his work, its refreshing xx

Soba sensei: "If 100% breaks you cannot fix" Also Soba sensei: Fixes it anyway at 12:30

What a fascinating way of making it rectangular while rolling

So much respect for him! Eating his soba noodles would be an honor

I love it when the dough goes **plap plap**

You can't refrigerate these. They crack if they're not being worked. They crack if they're overworked. They have no gluten and take forever to assemble. Who invented these and why.

I think he used magic in the "circle to square" process... amazing!

My mind cannot comprehend on how he rolls a circle to a square... must be because of his 10 dimensional hands lol plus the price of that knife

I see the tear as he's rolling and feel my heart drop.

YOU CANT FIX THE DOUGH!!! 12:33 *fixes dough*

how to make handmade soba noodles you can"t

this put me in a state of extreme stress and extreme relaxation

I like when he said "Tokyo is a very business town so everybody eats quickly...so should be a thin noodle" that sentence explains a lot to me ,what a poeple!!

I bet food wars can't compete with this man (btw, in the anime they only made a 9:1 ratio soba)

I really enjoy that the video speed was not increased.

I liked it being explained by himself, he knows best what he does and his english is pretty solid

Point A: this is high quality RU-vidry Point B: Can someone tell me where to source that denim gi/cardigan he's wearing because it's amazing.

"My eyes see one dimension. My fingers see ten dimensions." This man is *ascended.*

Damn I'm too drunk to watch this... Better come back when I'm Soba

"My eyes can see only 1 dimension, but my fingers can see 10 dimensions"

Wow! Mind bllloowwwn! Anyone focused on this mans english/ accent obviously isnt aware of the level of skill this man has. Maybe you should watch how to make cake pops or something alot more basic..Making noodles with no gluten is almost like making a drink with no liquid. The way he forms that square when rolling the dough.. i could go on and on about this guy. Soba noodle master takes 10 years of practice. Id love to see a regular person try to make these side by side.

The skills and precision of this chef is off the chart. I am in awe watching the whole process and I had no idea the level of artistry could be achieved in making what seemingly a simple noodle. How he able to roll the round dough into a perfect square is only one of hundreds of techniques in this 20 minutes.

The way he just throws the flour during the rolling stage is e v e r y t h i n g. can i get a gif of that and just watch it before i sleep. please and thankyou

Thanks for the long-form editing, showing the full length of time he spent on each step, makes this video really chill. I did this guy, can we have more videos with him? 😍

He shows those noodles so much respect...

An absolute pleasure to watch, a beautiful craft. I've been a chef of 25yrs+, and you learn something everyday. Many thanks to whoever made this video. BRILLIANT!

* closes eyes while mixing, attempting to make a tsunami* Opens eyes: WHERED THE FLOUR GO???

Why does the music sound like I'm stuck in a character select screen...?

I have rarely commented on anything online to date. It could be the whiskey talking, but i found this video deeply satisfying. Well done, sir.

I’m calling sorcery on this one. He made a circle into a square. And touching the 10th dimension means he’s a wizard

How the heck did he get a square?!?!?!?! Magic noodle man

So satisfying when he fixed the two rips

My math teacher: turning a circle in to a square is impossible! Him: roll it in to square Me: dis must be That new math??

"My eyes can see 1 dimension but my finger can see 10 dimensions" What is this anime?

Everything in Japan has a name, then a term, then a technique, then a style... What a wonderful way to complicate things.

DID HE JUST SAY A TEXTURE OF RABBIT POOPOO LMAO

I am floored just looking at a master's disciple at work! Can you imagine seeing his master handiwork?

I can't eat wheat, and I could never find pre-prepared soba noodles without some wheat flour... So, the first time I made them, myself, was around 8 years ago. I didn't go by a recipe, or anything, so I had no idea what I was in for. Thought they'd be like basically any other noodle that you'd make. 😒 Oh my gosh. They are so, so *difficult* to shape and cut, but unbelievably flavourful, chewy, and so satisfying. Pros: they don't take a huge amount of time to make, they're the best soba noodles you'll ever have, and you'll want to try them unadulterated, at least once. Cons: there is no easy way to make them, there is no non-messy way to make them, and you'll have a hard time going back. 😅 It's so worth it, a couple times per year, though. Divine, chewy, nutty, and the best zaru soba you'll ever have. ♥️ Now I want some. 😩

Rabbit poopoo, cat paw, and treasure hunt. I love this guy references

That's the kind of video quality I like on youtube.

The amount of Dedication is insane

Close your eyes with your hands in a bowl of flour, open them and find yourself in another dimension where your hands are covered in rabbit poo poo 😋

"My fingers can see in 10 dimension." As a lesbian, I'll have to use this line from now on. Hahaha.

It is so beautiful to watch. In this hectic times, simple, handmade things give me inner peace and joy. I hope these lovely traditions don´t die because of "progress" and globalisation.

I love everything about this video. The cook, the language (I'm a teacher), the food, the culture... The list goes on. 🧡

i watched this video when its aired. and im watching this again after i got diagnosed with celiac disease. its nice to now that %100 buckwheat flour soba noodle is totally gluten free and safe to eat.

That was beautiful the guy is a true master of his craft + so is the editor and sound person for the video. The result of the internet at its best imo

its a full arm workout damn

I just recently made soba for the first time with my family and it was really fun! It's not as intense and difficult as it may seem, so I encourage everyone to give it a try. Also, this doesn't really matter but my dad's name is extremely similar to this guy's name.

My grandma does the same thing every sunday during 50 years... she was our loved italian Sensei !!!

cant fiiiiiixxx after break. breaks and fixes it. lol

LOVE watching the Handcrafted videos :) It's so interesting just being able to observe a master (or to-be-master) of soba making! I didn't know so much attention to detail went into making this delicious noodle. Thanks, BA!

How to Make Handmade Soba Noodles, step 3: "OK, so you're gonna take your rolled dough, fold it up and put it on a flour cushion. Next, take your guide board and *$8,000 handforged knife* and cut into noodles."

Very beautiful video and explained. Loved this chef and the detail love that goes into the process of the preparation of this noodle. So much patience and delicacy into this refined noodle.

This was incredible to watch.What a beautiful trade and skilled tradesman.

I watched the whole thing and din realize its a 20 long mins vid.truly a master.

Love these Handcrafted videos. Watching masters work their magic is so fulfilling! Great job Bon Appétit.

i love the way he eat and put the noodle on the pan and close his eye when he make the dough. thank you shuichi.

it is weird to feel anticipation and calmness at the same time~ very good

there is legend that he is the only man that can feel in 10 dimensions: he is the NOODLE SAMURAI

4:36: "Japanese say usagi no uko is texture like rabbit poo poo." AAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Geeze I can’t even imagine his mentor!!!

This is the most intense noodle making video I have ever seen

anyone else find this super relaxing??

dayum... lucky wife... she has felt the 10th dimension technique jokes aside, great soba making video...

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!! Mesmerised by his skill, patience & perfection. Fantastic!

Very humbling experience. Never going to eat these noodles the same way again, the skill, effort and dedication involved is just incredible. Would love to know which place he works at

This was so amazing. Also he sounds almost exactly like Cooking with Dog, I love that channel. RIP Chef, he was a good doggo.

I have great respect for the Japanese.. Always inspirational. in this fast paced world where everything just tumbles along, they’ll tell you that nothing should be rushed. It’ll take you over 10 years to master the art of making soba noodles, probably half a lifetime to master the sushi.. everything is steeped in rich tradition and culture, executed with perfection.

Making soba is very delicate. My husband and I started taking classes recently. You’d think its easy but its not.

His precision was remarkable. An absolute treat to watch a master at work.

Suddenly I feel bad sitting here with a cup of insta noodles.

This is extraordinarily. The amount of thought, practice and patience that goes into this dish is incredible. Respect!

I love how at @12:17 he effortlessly fixes the open tears... a true master...

"Now we are going to make this circle into a square" (Okay, yeah sure, so you're just going to fold it then) *Folds the dough, circle becomes a square when he unfolds it* Wait wtf??

Dude... Sensei here can feel 10 dimensions! Where do I sign up to be his student?!

I enjoyed watching that so much. Working the buckwheat with his eyes closed, letting his fingers gauge the moisture and crumb... Yeah, that's ten years well spent. Man knows his soba. I'd maim to taste a bowl of those noodles...

I love your narrative style, you have told us 100% tips to educate us.
