SOMEN (Japanese Noodles)
Somen. The most delicate Japanese noodles, somen are often distinguished by their elegant packaging. They usually are tied with colorful ribbons in neat bundles.
Somen are made from a wheat-flour dough with a little oil. Like soba, they are served cold with a dipping sauce, but they make a delightfully light and delicate garnish for hot soups.
