Sudachi oroshi soba is a type of soba noodle with grated Japanese radish and citrus sudachi. Soba can be eaten either chilled or hot, this soba is a chilled noodle dish that is served with a dipping sauce(mentsuyu). Citrus sudachi is one citrus fruit, with green peel, and light green fruit flesh, that looks like a lime but smells and tastes stronger than limes but not that sharp, a bit smaller than a table tennis ball. The best season for citrus sudachi is from the beginning of August to mid-September. They smell fresh and nice, so they can add some spice to meals. Sudachi oroshi soba is a good fit when it is hot, and feel like you want to eat something light. I personally recommend using citrus sudachi for cold meals but it tastes also good for hot meals. Since we also eat hot soba noodles you can enjoy a hot version of this as well.

Soba Noodles with Grated Japanese Radish and Citrus Sudachi (Sudachi oroshi soba)

One day I found a nice restaurant that serves soba noodles, and they have sudachi oroshi soba. I am a big fan of citrus fruits, so I needed to order the one. It was so good, I ate hot soba noodles because I visited them in winter. Both the citrus and grated Japanese radish harmony were just fantastic, which made me cook one at home. This is not my original recipe and you don’t really cook it but still, it tastes good. All you need is stuff that you get at a supermarket. You need 4 ingredients below, soba noodles, citrus sudachi, Japanese radish, and noodle soup base.
