No, it's not the worst type of advertisement at all to display facts that are helpful for our digestive system. It's very helpful.

For the cold soba, you should actually add the sea weed, scallions, garlic, wasabi and bonito flakes into the dipping broth. It adds great flavor and umami, making every bite such a pleasure. I love cold soba, utterly delicious when done right :)

In Japan ramen is more like a manly fast food. While soba is a more traditional kind of noodle made with higher standard of artisanship

I hope you do another 11 seasons of Dining On a Dime. I love watching your show.

Mirin is not vinegar, it is sweetened sake (rice wine).

Totally missed the mark on eating Zaru Soba. You have to mix all the ingredients into the soyasauce based broth and dunk the noodles. Totally delicious.

Had a favorite place somewhat nearby that served freshly made soba noodles. Sadly, that place has left for quite a while, but is still missed a lot. They did do the zaru style, but I liked it in soup more often. Their curry soba was the best. :)

Nothing beats soba on a weeknight! It's so pleasant to have at the end of the day!
