Cold Soba with Mushroom and Leek Seiro Broth

To eat this dish from Sonoko Sakai, lift cold soba noodles, one mouthful at a time, with chopsticks, dip them into the hot seiro, or broth, flavored with sautéed leeks and enoki mushrooms, and slurp them up quickly. This method retains the soba noodles' integrity, preventing them from swelling or getting soggy while sitting in the hot broth.
