Kawara Soba

Kawara Soba

Fragrant cha soba (tea kneaded into soba noodles) is fried atop a heated kawara (roof tile). The true charm of the rustic soba noodles is brought out

This is an unusual noodle dish in which cha soba is fried on a heated tile and then dipped into a warm sauce before eaten. The aroma of the tea adds to the flavor of the fried noodles. Further enjoy kawara soba with the added toppings of sliced omelette, beef, dried seaweed and other ingredients.
