Do you want to try Green Tea Soba Noodles with Wagyu Beef served on a hot Japanese roof tile? This is exactly what we will be having when we go in May to the cosy and casual Eiju Fusion Japanese Dining, located in Pyrmont. Kawara Soba is a regional dish from Japan invented by a chef in 1961 when he heard war stories of how soldiers cooked meats and wild herbs on hot tile roof. Eiju’s owner Chef Hideki Okazaki does not usually offer a set menu for lunch but has agreed to do a 4 course set menu for us Ladies Who Lunch. Don’t forget to dip your noodles in the dipping sauce before you eat them!

Space is absolutely limited as Eiju only has 13 Kawara tiles.

Caveat: There may be a waiting time of up to 20 minutes between the first and last serve of the Kawara Soba because of the size of the kitchen and how the dish is prepared. So bring your patience and humour with you.
