As today was hot, I chose to serve a group of cold dishes. The main course was green tea soba noodles served with two types of soy/mirin/sugar based dipping sauces. Thin beef strips were cooked in sake and garlic chunks, rinsed with cold water, and served chilled. The Sunomono consists of sliced daikon and cucumber that were salted, rinsed, and then mixed with rice vinegar and sugar. Optional toppings included sliced green onion, shredded ginger, sesame seeds, and wasabi. Dessert consisted of green tea mochi filled with azuki bean paste.
