Turning Japanese
During the summer, Japanese restaurants serve different types of cold noodles: from buckwheat cold noodles, to the famous Japanese udon.
For the best buckwheat cold noodles, try the mocha flavor from the Itoya Japanese Restaurant. A generous amount of dried sea-lavers are added to the soup, with a little shallot and a lightly poached egg.
Taya Restaurant on Xianxia Road may just have the best udon noodles in Shanghai. It has a wide selection from Kijoyu udon (served in a cold soup of unpasteurized soy sauce and sudachi juice, with tempura and fried tofu as an accompanying side dish), to curry udon, and the Hiyashi chukka (made with raw ramen noodles and served with lots of sliced toppings such as omelette strips, ham, chicken breasts, cucumber and bean sprouts).
The Taya Restaurant claims its udon noodle is directly imported from Sanuki Province, Japan, where the udon is thicker than normal. Sanuki Province claimed to have been the first to adopt udon after K$kai Enni, a Rinzai Zen monk, discovered the recipe on his travels to China in the 13th century.
