Beppu Reimen (Cold Noodles)
Smooth noodles slide down the throat accompanied by a clear soup infused with seafood dashi. The spiciness of the kimchi provides a nice accent, soaking into your body during the sweaty season. Its origins are said to date back to around 1950, when a chef who returned to Beppu from Manchuria (Northeast China) after the war recreated the cold noodles they were familiar with. The Japanese-style soup, based on kombu and bonito dashi, is a unique Beppu arrangement designed to suit the Japanese palate. Today, there are two main types of specialty shops in the city: those focused solely on Reimen and those integrated with Yakiniku (BBQ) restaurants, each with its own unique noodles and soup. Please try comparing these different flavors, born from a history of repatriation, to experience the taste of Beppu's summer.
