About Miwa Somen
Miwa Somen (三輪そうめん, Miwa somen) is a traditional type of somen noodle produced in the Miwa region, centered around Sakurai City in Nara Prefecture. This area is known as the birthplace of somen noodles.
Crafted using refined noodle-making techniques, Miwa Somen is characterized by its delicate thinness, firm texture, and resistance to breaking apart when cooked. Its smooth texture and pleasant bite make it truly distinctive.
In the summer, it’s typically enjoyed chilled, while in winter, it is often prepared as "nyumen," a comforting warm noodle dish. Miwa Somen is a versatile treat enjoyed throughout the year.
