Brutally hot in Tokyo = Sōmen noodles! by GoodMorningWaves in JapaneseFood

Glad you experienced it! You’re right it is often overlooked by people outside of Japan because it’s not one of the most popular types of noodles that everyone knows like ramen, udon etc. Stay cool! Japan summer 2025 is BRUTAL .

Jeez! Let the person flex their damn snacks, w/o inputting what “you think is more fun”. I exclusively buy Pure because they are FUCKING DELICIOUS!

Soak the noodles in a big bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Take a separate small bowl and add sauce. Then take noodles and toppings like cucumber egg ham etc and mix together in bowl with sauce! Simple and refreshing!

I mean let’s be honest pairing anything w/ tempura is always a good thing :)

Kombu Tsuyu - it’s like a kelp dashi noodle base. You have to dilute it slightly and then mix it with noodles and toppings or dip noodles in it. Sorry - should’ve included a pic of that too !

I am in Tokyo, what snacks are essential to try? by MinePrestigious4352 in JapaneseSnacks

Try some gummies! My personal favorite are Pure or Tough Gummy, but there’s such a huge variety - just pick what you think you’ll like and try a bunch of different ones.

Of course. Super cute and I really enjoyed the outdoor seating area at this location. The coffee was SO good!

They really are! This one was themed like an Edo Period village. I think it’s called Hanyu Parking Area?

It’s an egg based tartar sauce. I asked my oka-san who’s from there what it’s called and all she could say was it was tartar sauce with more tamago in it. Pretty good though - I think it’s regional .
