zaru soba
Japan · East Asia
- Short description
- This chilled noodle dish keeps the noodles plain and the dipping sauce separate for a clean, focused bite.
- Ingredients
- Chilled buckwheat noodles served separately from a soy-based dipping sauce, scallions, wasabi, and nori.
- Cultural note
- Summer meals and noodle shops often serve it chilled, with texture and sauce balance doing most of the work.
- Common misconception
- The dipping sauce is not poured over the whole tray; noodles are dipped in small bites.
