Another food that is usually only

available in the summer is hiyashi-

chuka. It is a dish of chilled ramen

noodles topped with colorful

toppings like cucumbers, ham, and

eggs.

The soy-based sauce is tangy and

refreshing, and the cold noodles

make the humid summer heat more

bearable.

Many ramen shops offer their own

unique version of hiyashi-chuka that

is available only in the summer.
