i'm sorry if this gooey white glob looks disgusting to you, but it's my favorite food: tororo, or grated mountain yams, served over a bowl of steaming soba. i don't like ordering it at restaurants because the broth is usually too salty for me, and with tororo soba one has to finish the soup. at home, we make the broth with some konbu kelp, a mix of black and white soy sauce, some mirin and a tiny pinch of sugar. moutain yams are supposed to warm your body, and there's really nothing more comforting than soba in homemade broth.
but speaking of comfort, there are few things better than eating
karinto at night with a cup of hot hoji-cha to recover from a not-very-enjoyable day at work. aaahhh, what a relief it's Friday!
