Sakurai Harusame (Glass Noodles)
The smooth, transparent noodles soak up plenty of dashi (broth). When slurped, you experience a simultaneous chewy elasticity and a silky mouthfeel—the proud texture of domestically produced glass noodles born in Sakurai, Nara. It was in 1937 that Japan's first domestic glass noodles were created in Sakurai. Utilizing the hand-stretching techniques cultivated through the production of famous Miwa Somen, they were crafted from starch derived from domestic potatoes and sweet potatoes. The sight of noodles drying under the sun beneath blue skies remains a seasonal tradition of winter in Sakurai. Whether used in hot pots, vinegared dishes, or stir-fries, their ability to absorb dashi allows them to pair perfectly with any seasoning.
