At Verve Coffee Roasters, you will be able to try this Café-tonic. This is very popular in America, and it finally came to Japan! I recommend you to taste it and see if you like it or not!

 

These are the unique food that you can try during hot summer season in Japan. If you want to try out traditional food that many Japanese people will want to eat during hot summer season, I am going to show you what people are going to eat during summer!

 

What is the traditional food that Japanese people eat in summer?

 

If you are tired of tasting all these new unique products, you might want to find out the traditional food that Japanese people taste in the summer. One of the foods that are often tasted by the Japanese is Soumen. So first let me talk about what the Soumen is made of. Basically, Soumen is made of dried noodles, and the dried noodles are made with flour, salt, water and oil. So how do you eat it? Usually people often dip the noodles in to a broth and eat it. When you eat it, eat the noodles with your preferred condiments, like green onion or sesame seeds. The standard broth is soy sauce based with a somewhat sweet taste. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it can be eaten quite quickly. For most Japanese people, it’s something that’s not too heavy on the stomach and can be eaten when you are suffering from summer heat and don’t have much of an appetite. This is the reason why Japnaese people choose to eat Soumen during hot summer season.

 

So, where you can taste soumen? I think if you go to any resutaurants that have Japanese food, you will probably find Soumen in their menus. Also, you can go to Soumen speciality shops, because in Japan there are many soumen speciality shops as well as soba shops where you can eat it from their limited summer menu. There are also many convenience stores that sell it, but they are not in good quality, so if you want to eat Soumen in better quality with a reasonable price, it is better for you to find a restaurant where you can eat Soumen. Also one food that brings memories of summer is nagashi soumen, where you pick soumen that flows down a stream of water on a bamboo pipe. This is usually popular among kids, but I think adults are also welcomed to join! It’s fun to use chopsticks to catch the soumen that flows down. You can experience it for yourself at some shops as well as at campgrounds and barbecue areas so it’s perfect to make memories of summer in Japan. If you want to, you may even gather some friends and try by yourselves!
