(k) tanuki soba 狸蕎麦 (n): "soba with tempura batter"
* tanuki is not racoon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki
(Statues of tanuki can be found outside many Japanese temples and
restaurants, especially noodle shops. These statues often wear big, straw
hats and carry bottles of sake in one hand, and a promissory note or empty
purse in the other hand. Tanuki statues always have large bellies. The
statues also usually show humorously large testicles, typically hanging down
to the floor or ground, although this feature is sometimes omitted in
contemporary sculpture./ The actual wild tanuki has disproportionately large
testicles, a feature that has inspired humorous exaggeration in artistic
depictions. Tanuki may be shown with their testicles flung over their backs
like travellers' packs, or using them as drums)
* For tanuki soba, see soba
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soba
(Tanuki soba (in Kantō) or Haikara soba ハイカラ蕎麦 (in Kansai): Topped
with tenkasu (bits of deep-fried tempura batter))
A photo of tanuki soba can be seen right after this quotation.
* There are various theories why it is called tanuki (in Japanese).
