I love cold soba and this salad rocked.
3.5 stars. Definitely light and refreshing. Non raw tofu would have been better as it's huge cubes. It's a LOT of soba noodles, so don't be like me and dump the tiny container of delicious sauce over the top without removing 50% of the noodles first. Else, there will be virtually no sauce flavor coming through after the noodles suck it all up.
Next time, I'll try removing half the noodles for better flavor.
