Kuro Goma Ice Cream | Japan Yokohama

During our visit to Japan Yokohama China Town, we noticed a black colour ice cream. It is now winter season in Japan, but the cold weather does not stop us from trying this unfamiliar colour ice cream. It is a black sesame flavour ice cream which cost 260 yen. Kuro means black and Goma means sesame in Japanese.

I do not bake for a period of time due to no oven with me in Japan. I mentioned that I miss my smart oven in Penang from the post of Peach Cheesecake. Well, after few months of stay in my apartment, I do not realize that actually I have an oven in my apartment. It is conventional oven where it can be used to toast, grill, bake and also act as microwave oven. A friend of mine discovered this and told me that I can bake, huuray! If not, I think I won't realize that I have an oven with me. Haha..

ColdSoba_7 Soba is a kind of brown noodles made from buckwheat flour. Cold egg soba is noodles in cold sauce with wasabi, scallions and raw egg.

I have never wanted to try the cold soba here as the egg serves in the cold soba is totally raw. I am afraid of the egg smell if it is eaten raw and dare not challenge myself to eat raw egg except if the raw egg is use to make tiramisu.

Somehow, on past few weeks, we stepped into an old soba and udon shop. Since Camus wanted to try something special in Japan, Japan local food, hence we ordered cold egg soba. Unsure about how to order cold egg soba in Japanese, after talking and describing what we wanted to the Taukeh Soh, finally we got what we want.

This was how the cold soba served. At first, the cold sauce was pouring on the soba in a bowl, sprinkled with scallions, then raw egg and finally added wasabi at side.

The egg was beaten and mixes well with the soba before eating. Surprisingly it was delicious! No raw egg smells at all and wasabi was added to enhance the taste. It was really a wonderful experience in Japan. The shop is just located beside Hitotsubashigakuen station.

Wonder what else that I can try in Japan before I go back to my lovely hometown in Penang. Many of the traditional foods in Japan are delicious and most importantly, they can't be easily found in Malaysia. Those are the foods that I want to try out.
