The signs are all here – warmer weather, student exodus, sudden rainstorms, construction crews ripping up the asphalt leaving neon-painted personhole covers jutting from the roads – it’s just about summer.  As if further evidence was needed, I had cold noodles for lunch at Sapporo Ramen in the Porter Exchange today with The Skeptical CMO.

Usually, when I think of summer cold noodles, I think of zaru soba as often craved by @yobtot and others, but this example with ramen also has a lot going for it, such as the array of vegetables and not least the abesnce of dark sauce that tends to stain one’s shirt as one slurps.  Either way, cold noodles are refrshing on a(n almost) summer day.
