It's not that Copenhagen doesn't have good Japanese restaurant, in fact, there are some that's really good & authentic, but I just can't find chilled green tea soba here. I was spoilt with selection back home & always miss it while I'm away so I bought a couple packs of green tea soba with me to Copenhagen during my recent Penang trips.
Chilled soba, as the name implies, is soba (Japanese buck wheat noodle), together with a quail's egg, tempura shreds, wasabi & spring onion, served chilled with a bowl of dipping sauce/soup. Can be served alone but I often like to order mixed tempura (prawn, mushroom & vegetables) to go with it.
Now with the main raw ingredient from Penang, I can cook it at 'home'. I avoided the hassle of deep frying tempura and made pan fried chicken. Turns out to be okay as well. The reason it's okay and not good is because my soba is not chilled enough & I'd still prefer tempura if I have a deep fryer. Maybe I should buy one?
