Making Soba Noodles in Otoineppu

	Here's Heather demonstrating how to sift the buckwheat.
	Next mix the powder by hand... for a long, long time.
	Here's Heather and Mr. Hirata (on the right) doing some mixing. The girl on the right is already lumping the dough together.
	Next, flatten it out.
	Here's Mrs. Hirata doing some mixing.
	And Heather smiling for the camera.
	Rolling out the dough.
	When it's big enough it looks like this. That's why the rolling pins are so long.
	Heather doing some dough-flattening.
	Mr. Hirata strutting his stuff.
	When it's all flattened, fold it and get ready to cut.
	That anti-finger-cutting board is a good idea.
	Here's the noodles all cut.
	And wrapped up to prevent drying.
	Boil a big pot of water.
	And dump the noodles in for about 60seconds.
