August 2021 : “Natsu no Dento” (the Traditional summer) Box

This month’s theme is “Natsu no Dento” (The Traditional summer).
I think every country in the world has various traditions for each season.
Of course, Japan also has traditional foods and events for each season, too.

When you imagine much traditional food, you tend to think of elaborate and difficult dishes, but in reality, they are often eaten on a daily basis.
For example, “Soba” (Buckwheat). It is one of the Japanese traditional food “Soba” is a dish that is loved by Japanese people.
Therefore, you can find “Soba shop” anywhere in Japan.
“Soba” is popular because it is delicious, but it is also famous for being quick to eat.
Therefore, you can find many “Tachigui-Soba” (eating soba with a stand-up counter) at Japanese train stations.
“Soba” is also a staple of “fast, cheap and delicious” Japanese fast food.
There is a lot of kind of “Soba” menu you can eat in Japan.

When hot summer, We eat cold “Soba”. When we eat cold soba, we dip the “soba” in a strong kelp-based soup called “dashi”. “Dashi” (kelp-based soup) is extremely delicious !! Please have a try.
