About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Hi Obachan,
I've never had this type of cold udon before, but it looks really refreshing and perfect for summer. Usually during the summer, I'll have zarusoba at least once a week because it's so cooling.

agree...cherry should be replaced with plum, at least!

Never seen noodles served with a cherry but it's... interesting! Looks tasty and refreshing, too.

> Reid --- Oh, zarusoba is my favorite, too!! We have some “different” kind of zarusoba here with some special ingredients kneaded into soba noodles. Hope I have a chance to post about them sometime this summer.
> alf --- Glad to find someone to share the same opinion :D
> MrsT --- Me, too : )
> Jonny --- I used to work at a place where they served somen noodles with a cherry on top, and 90% of the time, the bowl came back with all noodles and toppings gone but the cherry left untouched in the dashi flavored soup. But still, somen+cherry combination is rather popular. This was my first time seeing udon+cherry combination.

Obachan,
I am going to attmept makin curry udon this week. What do you think will go well with it?
Similarly, what goes with Omaraisu?
Clueless. Being non-Japanese, I don't know how to assemble.

OMG, Joanna, Curry udon?! To tell you the truth, the only time I had curry udon was the school lunch at our elementary school…. which was L-O-N-G time ago! I honestly don’t know what will go well with it… you mean, side dishes to eat with curry udon or toppings? I googled a bit and found some interesting toppings for curry udon… like mochi (rice cake) and shrimp, cheese and spinatch, etc. As for side dishes, I found a udon shop that serves a combo meal consisting of curry udon, salad and small rice balls. Not sure how popular the combination is, though.
With Omuraisu, I guess salad and soup may be a popular combination. Hope this helps... Good luck with your attempts :D

Obachan - the udon looks yummy (I didn't know what laver was though, is that a type of Nori?), and yes, no cherries please :)
Posted by keiko
Yes, Nori. And looks like Aonori is often translated as "green laver."
BTW, there's going to be another post that might make you homesick again... ;)
