Japanese Somen Noodles
Shimabara Tenobe Somen is produced in Nagasaki Prefecture by a long-established cooperative that brings together several producers from the Shimabara region. Since the 17th century, the area has been known throughout Japan for its artisanal production of somen—ultra-fine, white wheat flour noodles characterized by their smooth texture and short cooking time.
The Shimabara Tenobe Somen cooperative, founded in 1978, was created to preserve and promote the local craft, in which the noodles are still stretched and dried by hand. This traditional process gives a special elasticity and a clean, delicate flavor, making the noodles suitable for both cold and hot servings.
Use and preparation:
- Preparation: Boil the noodles in plenty of water for 1½–2 minutes. Then immediately rinse in cold water to stop the cooking.
Serving:
- Cold with mentsuyu sauce and fresh vegetables
- Hot in miso soup or light broths
- Somen is often enjoyed cold in the summer months, served in a mild, chilled soup with dashi and soy sauce—a classic dish that highlights the noodles’ fine texture and subtle wheat flavor.
Origin: Shimabara, Nagasaki, Japan
An authentic product from one of Japan’s most renowned somen regions—handmade quality that brings centuries of tradition straight to the kitchen.
