Jaja Men
I’ve just spent a nice holiday away from it all in Iwate Prefecture in the North/Tohoku Part of Japan, in Morioka more precisley!
Whenever you mention Morioka City in this country, the Japanese will firts say noodles, ramen, Ja Ja Men and so on!
A paradise for the Missus who is a me, vermicelli, udon, soba and pasts addict!
The picture above shows the Ja Ja Men, maybe its most famous morsel in taht field (I will write a more detailed report on my visit as soon as I more time!)
Yasai Soba Salad
Soba are next and this particular cold soba served with loads of finely chopped carrot and cucumber and katsuo bushi/dry bonito havings was simple and tasty!
The Missus certainly enjoyed them!
As for me, I had sake soba!
The small flask at the right contains cold sake. I poured it over the two-tier soba dishes. The sake will drip into the bttom dish (thrid one) and will be added tothe suace later. Served with mushrooms and grated daikon.
Now, that was a beauty!
Tororo Soba
Tororo means grated yama imo/yam. Another Missus’ favorite (I mean another “favorite”, not another “Missus”).
We ate that in Hiraizumi on top of a mountain!
Cold tomato Spaghetti salad.
I had this in the same restaurant, It was made with local products only!
Local Korean restaurants serve their own variety of “Re men/cold ramen”!
Very tasty indeed and always serve dwith a slice of fruit in it!

C’est une region que j’adorerais visiter pour les paysages. C’est un peu loin et excentre, et je n’ai pas encore eu l’occasion.
Le gastronomie de la-bas n’a pas une superbe reputation, mais je crois que c’est de la medisance. Tout a l’air delicieux sur tes photos.

Tu as tout a fait raison. C’est vrai que la gastronomie peut y etre considere un peu monotone, mais leurs sake sont fameux!
