when.tempura.meets.soba

still a rather cold week to start with... almost like a "christmas in july" a term you came across today.
o mine, your mind is thinking of these tempura and a bowl of hot soba to warm you up.
here is what you had on one of the last days in tokyo...

tempura shrimps and vegetables. the tempura is not as flaky and light as most of the tempura you find in japan, you were told this is asakusa style tempura authentic to this place.  it's a bit heavier on the batter but the seafood and the green are yummy.
green tea soba, you had it cold because the weather was warm. so instead of a bowl of hot broth, you were dipping your soba into the small bowl of dipping sauce (menshoyu)...
at owariya (尾張屋) a famous soba house, just along the main street of kaminarimon dori (雷門通り).  
right here you had your last tempura and super good matcha soba.
