When I first moved to Japan, the idea of eating cold soba noodles wasn't very appealing, until I tried them for the first time on a hot Tokyo summer day, and I loved them! The noodles are clean and fresh-tasting and are served on a bamboo tray, with a dashi, soy and mirin dipping sauce and garnish such as spring onions and daikon.
Whilst living in Japan I collected the soba cups that the dipping sauce is served in. They are the perfect size for serving dips in, or for serving snacks such as nuts. Needless to say, I stocked up on a few whilst I was living there.
I love the soba cups so much that I decided to create a soba cup design for my Spoonflower shop. I've included an array of designs from simple geometrics to pretty florals and bamboo leaves.
I've created two background colours, one on a clean white ground and the other on a dark navy ground.
