A Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant,Matsugen is where the esteemed chef channels his love and appreciation for Asian flavors and aesthetics into a Japanese soba shop. Soba are buckwheat noodles that are served cold or hot, with a variety of toppings. They are especially difficult to master, because the noodles must be 100% buckwheat, which means that the noodle has no gluten to hold it together - thus, the noodles must be hand formed and cooked VERY carefully so they don't fall apart. It is an art form that is not often seen in America, and one that I was anxious to try. I had never tried TRUE soba before-only ones with regular white flour worked in-so I hoped I was in for a treat in the modern, elegant, simply designed dining room.
