A fun summer dish where you try to catch cold noodles sliding down bamboo poles!

There's actually a way you can tell when the noodles are coming! If you look carefully there's like a small burst of water about half a second before the noodles come out. Gives you time to prepare.

@ThisismineIguess 11 ай бұрын

Also note that before it happens, the noodles block some of the water - the flow lessens before the brief burst.

Nagashi Somen is eaten during the hot summer months and originated before the development of modern air conditioning. The flowing water helps keep the noodles cool, which conveys a refreshing sensation when eaten by diners.

I legit thought they were going to pick the noodles out of the river😂Honestly, that would've been far more interesting. The noodles would have a VERY interesting taste, being that it mixes with the bacteria and flora of the atmosphere. So now you literally FEEL the environment inside of you, and not just around you. It literally becomes a 4-dimensional kind of experience. But then again, the sanitation issue becomes the obstacle to that.
