Yet another crazy dining experience I had today: Nagashi somen (literally flowing noodles). Basically, you set up some bamboo tubes, stick handfuls of somen noodles, and send them down the pipes with a bit of trickling water. Folks then swoop in with their chopsticks to grab the noodles before they pass them by. It's tricky! The noodles can slip down those tubes rather quickly, and if there are a bunch of people around you can get into some interesting competition for a blob of noodles.
I think this is best explained with a video.
Verdict: Strange, but tasty.

Hmmm, so is the idea behind this that the noodles are really fresh and not sitting out getting soggy or something?
ReplyDeleteAll I could think is that it's like a waterpark for noodles! LOL
