One of the staples of Japanese cuisine is noodles, like rice. There are several kinds such as soba, udon, or somen which include traditional Japanese noodles, and ramen or yakisoba which have been influenced by Chinese culture.

Soba noodles (buckwheat in Japanese) have become the symbol of cuisine that is both healthy and refined. Buckwheat is gluten-free, rich in fiber and amino acids (vegetable proteins) as well as vitamins, the seeds of this plant are more and more prized for their nutritive qualities.

Buckwheat is certainly gluten-free but soba noodles are not 100% gluten-free. Wheat flour is added to bind the dough. The darker the sobas, the less wheat flour there is.
