Chilled Soba
Cold Japanese buckwheat noodles.
In Japan noodles are part of the main staple. They are served hot or cold, in the school canteen and in back alleys but they are never considered a delicatessen. But they sure are good. These noodles are served cold and are one of our favorites. You can enjoy them year round but they are especially suitable in the summer. A gentle reminder, Wasabi, the green Japanese horseradish, is extremely hot so be careful.
