Kure Reimen
The smooth, flat noodles pair perfectly with the sweet, sour, and slightly spicy soup. It is a dish with a mellow texture that feels different from Hiyashi Chuka, providing a pleasant sensation as it goes down the throat. It is said that the origin lies with 'Chinraiken' in Kure City. In 1955 (Showa 30), ten years after the end of the war, the previous generation owner, who had transitioned from a food stall to a permanent shop, created Kure Reimen as a specialty available only here. They reportedly developed custom, chewy, flat noodles that pair well with the sauce, noting that 'using standard Chinese soba noodles would just make it Hiyashi Chuka.' The soup is characterized by its mild acidity, sweetness, and moderate spiciness. The Kure style is to enjoy the changing flavors by adding vinegar, mustard, or black vinegar from the table. It is refreshing and makes you want to eat it again and again.
