      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.

      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. That kneading & rolling takes a whole lot of skills.

      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.

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.

    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. ♥️
