Soba Chips with Wasabi Aioli
All cultures enjoy socializing with some drinks and snacks. The Spanish custom is to have their drinks with tapas, the Italian ritual is an aperitivo, while the Japanese tradition is otsumami–the point is the same-- all serve small and salty snacks to accompany alcoholic drinks.
Nuts, chips, olives, cheese, cured meats and croquettes are common snacks served, however my eyes and senses were opened when I tried Soba Chips for the first time in Japan. They’re like thinly sliced chips except made out of buckwheat-- they’re very addictive.
If you’re after a simple, quick and healthy crispy snack try making some Soba Chips.
