In the first part of our Soba Dish Chronicles, we looked at the different types of soba dishes. In this article, we’re going to explore Japanese cold soba dishes and see what makes the difference.
A traditional noodle dish from the Edo period (1603-1867), soba has quietly maintained its popularity throughout Japan’s long culinary history.
There are a lot of different places where you can eat sushi but not all of them will give you the same experience.

Onsen (Japanese hot springs) towns are little resort areas whose main features are their hot springs and hospitality. Many tourists flock to these areas when they want to get a break from the city, look for a health retreat, or just want to soak in each area’s famous waters!
Some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it aged in a wooden cask, some like it in a cocktail. However you like it, Japanese sake (rice wine) is sure to be a winner.

Less than 100 kilometers away from Tokyo and nestled in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, the town of Hakone is renowned throughout Japan for its natural beauty, views of Mount Fuji and Ashinoko, and the numerous Hakone onsen baths. Each year, thousands upon thousands of domestic and international visitors flock towards the small onsen town looking for a break from the bustling cities.
