I am an ume addict. I like sunrise market too, when I am on the lower east side I always pop in. I'll look for them next time I go. <BR/><BR/>I wonder how they would go with a macha sauce, I just got this cool green tea grinder and have been wanting to make macha sauce for soba noodles.Umeboshi Superstarhttp://cho-tabetai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418018858963193367.post-9400345983484188642008-01-26T18:05:00.000-05:002008-01-26T18:05:00.000-05:00VB - Peko says it best and has tons of knowledge on this plum soba. <BR/><BR/>Peko - I actually agree with the locals in a way :( I prefer the original soba noodles to the plum flavored ones. I saw the green noodles in the market too but then it wouldn't go along with my story ! :)<BR/>Thanks so much for that info! I have a lot of learning to do still!cakewardrobehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752371044060690705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418018858963193367.post-47289560436976197002008-01-26T14:57:00.000-05:002008-01-26T14:57:00.000-05:00Yeah, those noodles are the meibutsu (famous/noted product) of Wakayama Prefecture, as they grow the best ume plums down there.<BR/><BR/>I have had ume soba and udon, but the rumor is that the locals don't eat it! This, if true, would be a bad sign. (But, I am not sure that it is true.)<BR/><BR/>Never-the-less, pink noodles are really novel (at least in Asia) and beautiful!<BR/><BR/>Kyoto has green noodles, Maccha! Excellent!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.kyotofoodie.com/" REL="nofollow">Peko@KyotoFoodie</A>Pekohttp://www.kyotofoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418018858963193367.post-6391145832696927362008-01-26T13:35:00.000-05:002008-01-26T13:35:00.000-05:00pink soba! i have to get me some! it's so pretty and good for you too!cakebrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418018858963193367.post-48395394555242568652008-01-26T05:42:00.000-05:002008-01-26T05:42:00.000-05:00Very very pretty soba!!!!
