Bamboo-Style Zaru Soba Draining Mat - 19.5cm
This bamboo-style draining mat (zaru) is an essential accessory for serving authentic Japanese cold noodles, such as Zaru Soba and Udon. Designed to sit atop a plate or bowl, it elevates the food to allow excess water to drain away, preventing noodles from becoming soggy and ensuring they retain their perfect texture.
With a diameter of 19.5cm, it is sized to fit most standard serving plates. Beyond noodles, it is also excellent for serving tempura or fried foods, allowing air to circulate and keeping the batter crisp.
