Yamato-Takada Nyumen
Thin somen noodles gently swim in a warm dashi broth. With a single slurp, they glide smoothly down your throat, and the savory umami of the broth spreads softly—this is Nara's nyumen, warming you to your very core during the cold season. "Nyumen" refers to a dish where somen noodles are simmered in warm dashi. It is said to be a colloquial pronunciation of "nimen" (boiled noodles). In Nara, where somen production is flourishing, it has been enjoyed throughout the year—served chilled in the summer and as nyumen in the winter. The Katsuragi area, including Yamato-Takada, is a land where the tradition of hand-stretched somen makers is still passed down. A bowl enjoyed on a chilly day offers a delicious taste that truly allows your shoulders to relax.
