What is the term for these Japanese buckwheat noodles, commonly served cold with a dipping sauce or heated as part of a soup?

Also known as "buckwheat noodles," soba is one of the three major noodle types consumed in Japan. Unlike udon and ramen, soda noodles are made using buckwheat flour. This gives them an earthy, somewhat nutty flavor that pairs nicely with stronger flavors such as garlic and sesame.
