One of the pleasures of traveling is visiting souvenir shops. It's fun to compare various products while thinking of the person who gives them, and to carefully select your own.

At that time, it is extremely reliable if the travel members have people from that area. You can quickly get real opinions such as "Is this delicious?" "I wonder if it's the first time I've seen it" "What's this?" "It's been around for a long time but honestly subtle".

This time, I bought "Fujiya's Hansei Himokawa" which was pushed by a friend from Gunma while searching for Gunma Akagi Kogen SA. The price was 594 yen (tax included) with 360g (12.7oz). If you check it later, it seems that you can also mail order on the official website.


Originally Gunma's famous "Himokawa udon". Akagi Kogen SA was also lined with products from various manufacturers, but a friend said, "Fujiya is one of the two best Himokawa udon restaurants, so this is highly recommended." If you are told so far, you can only go straight to the cash register.

Udon noodles with a wide and thin visual impact. The one I bought from Fujiya was about 5 cm wide.



Boil time is 10 to 15 minutes. When it reaches the desired hardness, pull it up, wash it with cold water, and serve it on a plate. It is generally served folded and eaten with soup.




The sensation of filling the width of the mouth is fresh. It feels like a backflow receipt printer.

The texture is as chewy as you can imagine! There is also a chewy texture and it is quite satisfying to eat. I think people who like sword-cut noodles and tagliatelle will definitely like it. Is it close to lasagna?


Ordinary noodle soup is delicious, but I wonder if it goes well with rich soup such as miso and cream. Also recommended for hot pots.

To be honest, I can't compare because I haven't eaten other Himokawa udon noodles, but I'm very happy to have a delicious new experience. Even if you don't accompany you, if you ask a friend from the area for souvenir information when you travel, the hit rate will increase!
