they have this other dish that they offer in the summer i think called hiyashi chuuka...it's a cold noodle dish that's supposed be refreshing and satsifying while allowing you to beat the heat because it's not a warm dish

Ahh, cucumber, bean sprouts, etc... Those are the right veggies to use for a cool, refreshing dish. :victory:

good stuff...

Definately good stuff.

I want my godmom to make that one soup she made for herself.
Crazy noodle soup or something like that. Its very spicy and has a little sour taste to it. Like you eat 5 spoons full and you feel the heat, if you stop eating for a min, it gets very spicy in your mouth :beaten:
SOO GOOD

no answer to my question...

i had a successful dinner last night! i cooked awesome tonkatsu much to my husband's delight.. and boo!! the tonkstsu sauce was awesome.. "slathered" was an understatement.. :)

i believe you are referring to the nissin brand noodles...again check what ever asian grocery markets you might have or try online...there are several vendors online that sell these types of japanese foods.

love the ramen and not me, my dear...^_^

in any case if you have a fast connection....download the above video clip i posted via yousendit.com....it's only 2 minutes and it shows this yakisoba shop in Tokyo where the chef makes fresh noodles and then fries them on both sides for that crispy, chewy texture topped with veggies meats and his special sauce. it's very appetitizing and torturous to look at

Yea, I was gonna say! When I was actually able to take my eyes off the food (and only after the second watching of the vid) I took notice of Mr. Daniel. He's so kawaii in his mannerisms!

dayem that yakisoba looked sooooooo good!


that guy trips me out...everytime i see him i laugh my head off...he's facility with the language is quite remarkable! yeah his mannerisms are quite amusing.

man, if you enjoyed that clip you can forage over at www.d-addicts.com and look for the next stop discovery shorts...they are awesome....basically it has a travel host who picks a particular train/subway line in tokyo and then he randomly gets off at various stations and checks out all the interesting shops and restaurants in the backstreets in particular...they stay away from the really famous, popular streets...

the people, the food, and the stores they come across are very entertaining, amazingly delicious looking, and interesting - respectively.

it's great fun :)
