About Miwa Somen (Thin, firm Japanese wheat noodles)
Miwa somen is produced in the Miwa area, centered around Sakurai City in Nara Prefecture. Miwa is also said to be the birthplace of somen. Made using kneading and noodle-making techniques, these noodles are exceptionally thin and have a firm texture that holds up well during cooking, along with a smooth mouthfeel. They are enjoyed year-round, served chilled in summer and in warm broth as nyūmen in winter.
