What are Somen Noodles?

Somen are very thin, white Japanese noodles made from wheat flour. They are significantly thinner than udon or soba, giving them a unique, delicate texture and an incredibly fast cooking time.

Taste and texture:

• Texture: Incredibly smooth, light and silky.

• Taste: Mild and neutral, making them a perfect canvas for flavorful sauces and broths.

How to prepare and serve Somen

The most common and best way to enjoy somen is cold ("Hiyashi Somen"):

1. Boil the noodles in plenty of water for about 2 minutes.

2. Rinse them immediately under cold, running water to remove starch and firm them up.

3. Serve the noodles cold, preferably with ice cubes, along with a good dipping sauce (tsuyu) and your favorite toppings such as spring onions or ginger.

4. They can also be served in a hot soup, a dish called "Nyumen".
