Genji Sushi fights the summer heat with Cold Soba Noodle Bowls

PHILADELPHIA - Aug. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- WHAT: As the weather heats up nationwide, Genji Sushi offers a way to cool down with their new Asian Cold Soba Noodle Bowls.  Rolling out nationwide in September, these bowls are prepared in the hiyashi-chuka style, featuring delicious cold noodles, original toppings and a tangy dressing.

Both cold salad offerings sit atop a bed of chilled lo-mein noodles with lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, tomatoes, corn and scallions, and come with a side of creamy Thai Sweet Chili Dressing, all prepared by Genji chefs at each location. The Crushed Edamame Tofu Cold Noodle Salad features a delightfully light combination of edamame, tofu, tahini and a "usukuchi" soy sauce blend, and the Spicy Blue Crab salad is tossed with Genji's signature Hot Mayo sauce.

"When it's hot outside, nothing is more refreshing than a cold noodle salad," says Genji’s  Corporate Executive Chef Takao Iinuma, protégé of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. "Prepared in the classic hiyashi-chuka style, these chilled noodle salads are the perfect antidote to the late-      summer heat."
