Menus at Udon and Soba restaurant Udon (thick wheat noodle) and Soba (buckwheat noodle) is Japanese traditional fast foods.They are cheap, tasty, and fast to be served. -Zaru/Seiro/Mori These are kinds of the way soba with no ingredients are served.There are almost no difference between them. All of them are iced soba, separated with its soup. Zaru and seiro are names of bamboo baskets soba is served. Generally, zaru is topped with nori (dried black seaweed). Mori means "a serving" in Japanese. -Ten soba/udon They are soba/udon topped with Tempura(mostly shrimp tempura). -Oyako soba/udon Oyako means parent and child in Japanese. Chicken and egg seasoned with soy sauce and sugar is their ingredients. -Kitsune soba/udon Kitsune means fox in Japanese. Their topping is deep fried sliced tofu (abura-age), and it is said that foxes are fond of abura-age in Japan. -Tanuki soba/udon Tanuki means raccoon dogs in Japanese. I don't know why it is called Tanuki. Their topping is bits of tempura batter. -Chikara soba/udon Chikara means power in Japanese. They are soba/udon topped with rice cake. -Kamo Namban soba/udon Kamo is duck, and Namban is western countries(especially Portugal) in old Japanese. They are soba/udon with duck and japanese leek. Though I don't know, It seems there is a long story why it is called "duck Portuguese". It's interesting, isn't it? By the way, my favorite is kakiage-soba(soba with mixed vegetable tempula).
