Soba boro is a traditional flower-shaped cookie. It’s made from buckwheat flour and lots of eggs. This Japanese confection is a part of wagashi (or nanban-gashi) sweets, but it’s not as expensive as other types of wagashi. The cookies are very crisp and have a texture that’s similar to the Italian biscotti. The word boro in its name is derived from a Portuguese word for cake, bolo . Soba boro cookies are typically served in the afternoon, with a cup of tea on the side. Although soba boro are associated with Kyoto, they can be found throughout the country, and these cookies are often bought as gifts.
