Description
I am a Soba Noodle Tray. I’m so-ba-dly craving soba!
Curator’s Notes
Called “zaru” trays in Japanese, these traditional pieces are used to serve cold soba, as the bamboo mat acts as a strainer to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy. This soba noodle tray is made from durable bamboo by the skilled craftsman of Kohchosai Kosuga. The light golden color of the wood provides a pleasant backdrop for the earthy color of soba noodles, and excess water drains into the basin to keep your noodles fresh. Cold soba is the perfect dish to serve during hot summer days, but this tray can also be used to serve vegetables and fruit!
