A typical dish of Japanese cuisine that has fallen in love with the public in São Paulo, ramen, served with a hot broth and other accompaniments, is one of the pastas that, in summer, is also served cold to help combat high temperatures.
Following the tradition of serving cold or frozen versions of some of their hot dishes, Japanese restaurants add dishes such as zaru udon and zaru soba to their menus, refreshing versions of pasta made with wheat flour and buckwheat, respectively.
The two dishes become part of the summer menu at Aizomê, a restaurant located inside Japan House São Paulo. Conceived by chef Telma Shiraishi, the two suggestions give the public the chance to taste dishes other than ramen.
“We currently have many houses specializing in their preparation, but at Aizomê we always serve the most traditional noodle recipes in Japan, hence the constant presence of udon and soba on our menus. known for their cold, light and tasty recipes”, says the chef.
“When we talk about zaru udon or zaru soba, we mean boiled and cooled noodles, served on a bamboo mat. I love to serve and enjoy the cold noodles with a very crunchy tempura.”
