This is a picture of my dinner of a collection of differnt types of soba.
Soba is a Japanese noodle a little similar to spaghetti but made from
buckwheat. It is often served cold with garnishes, and is then dipped into
a sauce. The sauce is the bowl on the bottom and into the sauce you put
raw chopped leeks, wasabe (horse radish), and grated daikon.
From bottom left and moving clockwise, the types of soba are ikura (salmon
egg), zaru-soba (soba with sliced dried seaweed called nori), tempura (not
soba of course), yama-kake soba (soba with grated mountain yam wich is very
sticky and an egg yolk on top), and sansai (mountain vegetable) soba which
is soba with various mountain vegetables on top like mushrooms, various
roots, and young fern fiddleheads.
