Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add cha soba and cook until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under ice-cold water until completely chilled.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together dashi, soy sauce, and mirin until the sugar dissolves. Stir in wasabi until smooth.
Step 3
Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Pour dipping sauce into small accompanying bowls. Top noodles with scallions.
