On Wednesday, July 22, the Men's Cooking Club from the Tajiri International Exchange Circle prepared the flowing somen noodle event for us the participants at the Kansai Institute. You can see pictures on my picasa.
One gets a bowl with soy sauce, green onion, wasabi, and ginger. Then one goes to the noodle flowing site. The noodles are pre-cooked. Someone then put some noodle flowing down the half-chopped bamboo tree. Water are running down the bamboo. At the end, there are colandar and pot that catch noodles that did not get caught by people down the bamboo tree. What you are supposed to do is to put your chopsticks perpendicular to the bamboo tree and wait for the noodle to flow past your chopsticks. You then pick up the noodles, dip them in the sauce and eat them.
Not only did we get the play the role of the noodle eater, we also got to be the "noodle-dropper." It was so much fun! The noodles tasted refreshing, the perfect food for the summer.
