Which one should you use?

While udon is made from wheat flour, そば is made from buckwheat flour.

The romanization is udon.

Some traditional shops use their feet to knead the dough for うどん by stepping on it inside a clean plastic sheet to ensure the perfect chewy texture.
In Japan, it is common and acceptable to make loud slurping sounds while eating うどん. This is often seen as a sign that the meal is delicious.
The phrase 手打ち in 手打ちうどん literally means 'hand-struck', referring to the rhythmic way the dough is beaten and kneaded.
