Romen

Romen introduction

Romen is a unique local gourmet born in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, and is a dish made by adding mutton or cabbage to thick steamed Chinese noodles, then stir-frying or adding soup. It is said that steaming noodles to improve longevity began in the 1950s when refrigeration facilities were not in place. Romen, which uses mutton, was created to make effective use of locally raised sheep, and is characterized by its unique flavor. There are two types of romen, soup-style and yakisoba-style, and the appeal is that you can add seasoning according to the eater's preferences to create your own favorite flavor. The addictive flavor created by the aromas of garlic and mutton leaves an unforgettable impact once eaten. Romen, which has been loved for over 60 years, is a specialty dish representing Ina City, and is widely loved by tourists.
