信州蕎麥麵:冷吃、熱吃

日本蕎麥麵有幾百年歷史,聽說遠朔至公元前300年,但從前食用的是丸狀和煎餅狀蕎麥,到了江戶時代(1603-1868)才有“刀切蕎麥”的名字,亦即是今天吃的蕎麥麵。而蕎麥麵的發詳地有很多說法,但的確有歷史紀錄長野縣於江湖時代出現刀切蕎麥麵。

長野縣的“信州蕎麥麵”,被譽為是日本全國蕎麥麵當中的佼佼者。原因是長野遠縣大部份土壤都是火山灰,加上高原溫差大,氣候和水土都很適合種植蕎麥,縣內出產很多優質蕎麥麵。

假如你到觀光社問有沒有好的蕎麥麵餐廳介紹,答案是:「很多、到處都有」。在長野站的 Midori 商場就有,餐廳層有兩間蕎麥麵店。

Kusabue is one of the good ones with a few shops, some franchise I think. This one in Midori at Nagano Station is directly managed by the brand.

At certain time of the days, you may see the soba making process through the glass window outside the restaurant.
餐廳外面有玻璃窗,在某些時間可以看到師傅製作蕎麥麵。

The noodle shop is pretty big with quite a number of tables and chairs. A long counter table style is in the middle.
以蕎麥麵店來說,這裏面積算大,中間一張長檯,旁邊有不少對坐的檯椅。

The menu is very simple, with very few choices of soba noodles: plain, with mushrooms, or tempura. You may choose cold or hot soba. This is a cold tempura set.
菜單卻很簡單,只有幾種蕎麥麵,有單蕎麥麵、冬菇蕎麥麵、天婦羅蕎麥麵,每款有凍食和熱食。這是冷吃天婦羅蕎麥麵。

It was cold that day. I want something warm. The trick is to eat fast if you don’t want the tempura to be completely soaked.
春天長野天氣還是比較冷,我點了一款熱的天婦羅蕎麥麵。如果不想炸蝦被浸透,要快吃。
