Competition time! Kyoto Soba Bowls
Posted on November 9, 2016
The clocks have changed, #WinterIsComing and we would like to invite you to #TasteTest our new lunch experience – ‘kyoto soba bowls’.
These bowls of soba noodle soups are a traditional Japanese winter warmer, with an aqua kyoto contemporary twist! They are a quick, healthy and delicious option for lunch.
How to enter
To join us for ‘Taste Test’ week simply tag a friend in the comments section on our Instagram post for your chance to win a complementary lunch for two.
There will be up to 30 lucky guests winning the prize, with the winners announce at 5PM Friday 11th November.
What are soba noodles?
Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat, and therefore the noodles are made from buckwheat flour. Buckwheat is low in gluten and contains all eight essential amino acids and so soba noodles have great health properties.
Because buckwheat is low in gluten they can be difficult to make. It took Executive Chef Paul Greening three months to create a recipe and him and his team make them from scratch each week.
Buckwheat can be grown all year round and can be harvest every four months, which means that toppings for a bowl of soba noodles are traditionally very seasonal.
Kyoto Soba Bowls
There are three options and all are served with edamame & pickles

Suzuki
Sea bass, wakamame, ginger, root vegetables, marinated soya hens egg, king crab oil and green tea soba. The broth is light and clear, but with depth of flavour that works well with the delicate seabass – goodness in a bowl.
