Morioka Reimen
Clear soup and smooth, glistening noodles. The moment you slurp them, your teeth bounce off their intense chewiness—that unique elasticity is the true essence of Morioka Reimen. It was created by Teruhito Aoki, who hailed from Hamhung (present-day North Korea). The story begins in 1954 when he opened the restaurant 'Shokudoen' in Morioka, aiming to recreate the cold noodles he ate in his hometown as a child. Initially, the noodles were not well-received, with some saying they were 'like rubber.' Through repeated refinements—changing the flour from buckwheat to wheat and making the appearance whiter—they eventually achieved the smooth texture seen today. A savory beef bone-based soup paired with the spiciness and acidity of kimchi. Please come and experience one of Morioka's three great noodles, alongside Wanko Soba and Jaja-men, in its authentic birthplace.
