SadBoy yup, by watching his technique i can only imagine that it would take years to master. Me learning to bake sourdough bread took 2 yrs before i turn out decent bread. When i was learning chinese noodles (egg noodles, pulled noodles aka la mian/ramen) it took me 5 yrs to master. I can easily believe that it’d take a good 10 yrs to master 100% soba noodle.

Rolling up a circle around a pin makes it fatter in the middle, like a croissant. Some form of pulling/pressure on that center/fat bit pulls the dough in a linear direction across the dough and makes you an oval. Flip 90 degrees to a forming "corner" and work from there, and the square will start to form.

[@sleepypotato7183]

@@GordonFreeman. It requires far more intensive labor compared to standard flours with gluten. And as he said, you can't fix it when it tore. Not to mention you're racing against time. Remember that the noodle would broke down 3 hours after he store it on the fridge. And it also requires a cold temperature while making it (You need to wake up earlier, like 4 AM as he said). Even the guy said that a perfect 100% buckwheat is very hard while demonstrating it to us.

Sooo relaxing. I can't imagine what it would feel like in 10 dimensions.

[@redcomet6327]

relaxing?? I found it to be stressful. Here he is, under pressure, working with a difficult ingredient, hot studio lights drying up his dough, and he's a student only 3 years into his 10 year program. You can almost hear the voice in his head noting every imperfection in his technique.

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."

[@Invisible__Woman]

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

[@MaximusProxi]

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

[@habibainunsyifaf6463]

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

[@hellonadski]

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.

[@elsalisa146]

So glad these traditional methods have been recorded by BA. amazing.

[@eveknowles5014]

the rips on the very top and bottom gave me so much anxiety, i was scared that they would spread

[@royakuma4144]

The damn studio lighting creates a lot of heat

[@MochaTater]

[@MiyagiRyuzo]

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

[@PiaAmorin]

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

[@amandarae2266]

Literally one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on YT! He was awesome!

[@furzekake1]

cant fiiiiiixxx after break. breaks and fixes it. lol

[@bloodgain]

He meant to say _you_ can't fix it. You are not Shuichi-sensei.

[@Rose-vu6ji]

"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??

[@alexwynn8242]

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 😋

[@dz4263]

i always watch soba making videos, i find them therapeutic to my eyes and mind.

[@theberryofawsomeness]

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

Wow, that was AWESOME! Much respect... The Japanese have perfected the art of perfection in everything they do. This man is a master, himself, but he is still humble enough to acknowledge that he's still always learning new techniques. I love that he spoke of his apprenticeship with his master guru. He answered all my questions, exactly at the moment I was wondering about something. Watching how physical this work is (the guy is dancing), I was wondering about him sweating and getting overheated, and he then explained about making the noodles in the early cold hours of the morning, for the sake of the noodles! And my mind was blown when that alternating rolling produced the square shape. I didn't see that coming, even though he had said it was going to be made into a square.

[@amstrogaming9109]

So much care and passion! I love it

[@jpl9723]

His hardwork on making the dough was fantastic!

[@niccopernicus8966]

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

[@PianoRootsMusic]

I still don't understand how he turned the circle into a square

[@draconbacon6395]

All these squares make a circle

[@shachar2]

*TEN DIMENSIONS**

[@derpypoop5920]

Potato man whaduheck

[@princessjello]

rolling the circle into an oval, then rolling that oval on the long side outward into a square...? idk where you're getting confused but i tried to explain it.

[@neonsamurai]

Traditional food making techniques never cease to amaze me. What a master.

[@tcrmn]

I come back to this so often, it's such an astonishingly beautiful video. Well done.
