Mayo's Cold Soba with Bonito Sauce

The weather is always kind of erratic over here. Can you imagine a hot day of 30-34 degrees with high humidity as well? For times like these, I would recommend a nice cold home styled Soba meal. It is nutritious, fulfilling & delicious. It's nice to stay in for a bit & create this dish to reward yourself. Here's how...
