Salad Udon
This is the Salad Udon they serve at the Koku Park food concession. It's a very popular menu during the summer.
Tokorozawa is actually known for their Udon, which is a thick noodle made from wheat flour. The reason for this is that the land in Tokorozawa was unsuitable for planting rice and so instead many people grew wheat. Thus the popularity of the udon grew.
This Salad Udon has tomato, cucumber, lettuce, seaweed, Japanese radish, mizuna (potherb mustard), soft seaweed, kamaboko (steamed fish paste), and katsuo-bushi (dried bonito) as toppings. All these are great for overcoming summer fatigue.
Good thing because all the seats are place outside!

Well that's what I need - to overcome fatigue! I'm suddenly hungry...
OK, it looks maybe like some flies could be interested in that outdoor food but the heat zaps them out of the sky before they get anywhere near.
But it looks so good a little heat might have more difficulty with me. Especially if I come prepared with my own seat.
That looks Yummy :D
