What is Kuki Taihaku Sesame Oil Hand-stretched Somen?

This somen is a collaboration between ``hand-stretched somen'' made using a traditional method that has been around since the end of the Edo period, and sesame oil from Kuki Sangyo, a specialty of Yokkaichi. This is a new product from Watanabe Tennobu Noodles, which stands out from other somen noodles because of its smoothness, elasticity, and strong umami.

When summer comes, I want to eat refreshing hiyamugi and somen noodles.
For this interview, I visited Denshichitei and Miyako Hotel with Ms. Michiyo Watanabe of Watanabe Handmade Noodle Shop, and had delicious chilled barley gozen.
Denshichitei is also a cultural property that is worth seeing, and I felt a sense of tradition and history. At Miyako Hotel, we also had gyoza and fried dumplings.
The head chef used innovative ideas unique to high school students to create a buffet menu by adjusting the seasoning mix, and the food was delicious.
Thank you to everyone who helped out, and to the YokkaichiCity Tourism and Exchange Division for providing the photos of ShisuiJikkaten.
