It's getting hotter each day, isn't? It's currently summer in Japan, so be extra careful while you're here. And cold foods are perfect for this weather, so I think that it can also help you to feel better on summer. Have you heard “soba”? It is a noodles made of buckwheat flour, roughly as thick as spaghetti, and prepared in various hot and cold dishes. Cold soba noodles are eaten with a soyabased dipping sauce (tsuyu).


What can you see on the pic is the one I ordered at 出雲そば　たたらや (Izumo Soba Tataraya) called 海老天ぷらそば (Ebi tempura soba) set, a soba with chilled dipping sauce with shrimp tempura and a vegetable side dish.

It is a very good meal that you can eat regardless of the reason. It has a good taste that can satisfy your craving while enjoying the summer. Isn't good for this season? Hope you enjoy it! ^ u ^
