One of Japan's representative somen brands, "Ibo no Ito". I think there are many people who choose somen, which is chewy and smooth, even if it is a little expensive.

At that Ibonoito, I caught the information that noodles other than somen are also sold. I was curious, so I ordered it!


I bought Chinese noodles "Ryu no Yume" and dried noodles "Ryu no Yume PASTA". Both of them are "Tenobe noodles" like somen noodles, and the price was 310 yen (80g (2.82oz) x 3 bundles, tax included) per bag.

Dragon Dream PASTA using durum wheat is about 1mm thick. It is fastened with a band like somen noodles, giving the impression that it is a little thick somen noodles.


Since the noodles contain salt, no salt is required when boiling. Boil for 2 to 2 and a half minutes and entangle with your favorite sauce. As easy as instant noodles!



Unlike ordinary pasta that is crispy, it has a strong chewy texture and a smooth and smooth texture. The noodles themselves have a good flavor and are thin, so they are often entwined with the sauce.


On the other hand, Chinese noodles are the same length as somen noodles and have a deep yellow color. The "smoothness" was also wonderful here, and it was very delicious when I chilled it in cold water and made it into Chinese. It's hard to stretch, so it looks good with ramen.




Only the brands that are familiar at the table will encourage conversation with products that people in the know know. All of them are easy to store for a long time, so how about using them as a summer gift together with somen noodles?
