Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Add soba noodles and stir gently. Cook until al dente, about 4–5 minutes; drain and rinse under ice-cold water until completely chilled.
Step 3
While noodles cook, combine soy sauce, mirin, and dashi in a small bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Chill in the fridge.
Step 4
Using a microplane or grater, grate the yam into fine threads over a small bowl.
Step 5
Carefully separate each egg; place one yolk in a small cup for each serving.
Step 6
Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Top each with grated yam and a raw egg yolk. Pour dipping sauce into small cups on the side; dip and eat.
