Awayuki Soba

What kind of soba do you like?

Soba is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle soup.

My recent favorite is "Awayuki(snow) Soba" which is soba with grated yamaimo(Japanese mountain yam). It is mucilaginous when grated and looks like snow, so this is why it is called like that. After eating soba, I love to drink the broth diluted with yam. It is really delicious! My favorite soba restaurant is located near the station: Hakone Akatsukian. They use good seasonal ingredients, so I go there once in a while. Day before yesterday, since I was tired (slept only 1 hour), I had a dinner there with my boyfriend after work. The yam contains nutritional elements that are effective in relieving fatigue, so I think I got well ;) Sorry my photo is bad X(

Anyway, recently I came across very nice serums.

I tried both samples but not sure which to purchase. Hmm...
Anti-Oxidant ingredients are catching!

We expect no rain until possibly Wednesday. Hope this is true.

Take care ;)
