myoga

myoga is one of the herb  seasoning for summer noodles.
we cut this and eat  with  cold soba, somen, etc..
shiso, myoga, shiso, are in my yard. I use them.

It is said too much eat of myoga, become forgetful. It is old story.
One of the principle of Buddha, who is very forgetful couldn't memorize his name ,even though he always put  his name-card on himself. After he died, on his tomb, there grew myoga plant.

I cooked hegisoba for today's lunch.

This noodle include buckwheat, and seaweeds.

In summer time, people eat very often  cold soba, somen dishes.

We boil them, for certain minuits (it is written in the package). After that we wash them with cold water. Colder it better.
Attentions , It doesn't need salt  when boil that.

We can choose many toppins. Cold seaweed and salad / Mountain herbs/ Tenpura.....

We can buy easily ' tsuyu' ( soy sause based soup for noodle) at markets.
