The matcha green tea soba

I had matcha green tea soba that my friend sent me for lunch.

What is soba?

Soba are noodles made from buckwheat flour.

Cold soba is eaten by dipping it in a sauce.

Cold soba noodles, which are easy to make, are great on a hot day.

I keep a few different kinds of soba in stock.

How to cook

Here's what it looks like inside the bag

I usually eat about two batches per person, but

This time I will make only one bunch.

The back of the bag has instructions on how to make it. Be sure to check the boiling time, as it varies each items.

Boil time this time is 3 minutes.
Okay!

Adjust the boiling time to your liking. I usually shorten it by about 30 seconds.

Boil them in plenty of water.

I spread them out to prevent them from sticking.

When they're done boiling, rinse them quickly in ice water, drain, and they're ready to go!

Make the dipping sauce

I use instant dipping sauce. The number in yellow marker is important.

This is the type that I dilute with four times as much water.

Using glassware makes it look cooler.

How to eat

Pick up a mouthful of noodles.

Dip about a third of the noodles in the dipping sauce before eating.

Bring the dipping sauce cup up to your mouth.

It prevents the soup from dropping onto your clothing.

Slurp the noodles without biting them off.

In Japan, making a slurping noise is absolutely fine, because it is a way to show how much you enjoy your dish.

Yebisu beer speciality bar in Kyoto

Does anyone here like beer? I like Yebisu beer the best. What is Yebis? Yebisu is the name of this god. He is the god of good fortune who brings prosperity in fishing and business. Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi In front of Kyoto station, there is a Yebisu beer speciality bar. In this bar, we can enjoy some kind of Yebisu beer. Here is the menu. There are so many different kinds, it's hard to decide. I chose one based on the chart for acidity and richness. It looked so good that I forgot to take a picture and just took a sip.😂 The beer foam is fine and delicious! Yebisu floated up from the coaster after I enjoyed beer.💕 There is an Yebisu figurine at the counter. . If you look closely, you'll see that Ebisu is holding a beer! Hahaha🤣 Offering money to the gods is probably the Japanese style. May you be blessed.✨ −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi Address Kyoto Yodobashi 1F, 59...
