I was interested in a restaurant in July 2021. I have never had fresh somen before. I haven't heard much about fresh somen noodles, but when I tried them, they were refreshing and quite delicious compared to dried noodles.

I found an interesting flag while passing by the 3rd street along Sakae Street in August 2020! I decided to go back and check it out. It turned out to be a noodle factory. I looked it up and found out that it is an established shop founded in 1954. They have a variety of noodles in their refrigerator, including 4 types of ramen, somen, hiyamugi, kishimen, soba, udon, yakisoba, and fresh somen for 280 yen. The noodles have a transparent appearance, are chewy, have a good texture, and are easy to swallow. The yakisoba, which is meant for 3 people, is quite voluminous and has a slightly thick noodle with a sweet sauce. It was a delicious meal.

I really want to eat somen in this hot summer. I got some fresh noodles for a luxurious treat. This time, I also found kishimen! I ordered fresh somen, fresh kishimen, and tenkasu somen, and enjoyed the firm noodles in a sieve. The best summer pleasure. This is the best treat of the summer. This time, it was my first time trying kishimen. When served cold, it has a crunchy texture. It feels like eating country-style soba noodles. Even when served warm, the firmness is not compromised compared to other kishimen noodles. Truly the pinnacle of fresh noodles. I thoroughly enjoyed the luxury of eating fresh noodles. Delicious fresh noodles, thank you for the meal.

I visited based on the reviews of Mairebi-san. There were so many types of noodles that I could conquer them all! I looked for soba, kishimen, ramen, etc., and found some rare ones like somen and hiyamugi. I also bought the hiyamugi as it's not common. The expiration date is usually about 1 week. The boiled noodles that were close to expiration were discounted from 70 yen to 50 yen, but I didn't buy them this time as I didn't have a chance to eat them. They also sell soup separately, which is convenient. The staff at the store were kind. When I asked about the boiling time, they even included a neatly written note. The kishimen and hiyamugi were chewy, had a good texture, and were delicious! I didn't try the soba this time, but I will definitely go back to buy more!! Highly recommended. Thank you for the meal♪

I had known about this restaurant for a long time, but couldn't make it there. It's a small, traditional soba shop in Iwamizawa. As soon as you open the door, you see a refrigerator filled with noodles. I ordered the fresh soba, fresh hiyamugi, fresh black soba, and udon komachi, and they were boiled for the exact time indicated. I was amazed by the texture of the noodles! The soba has an incredible chewiness, especially when served cold. I made a dipping sauce with thin pork belly and enjoyed the noodles cold and the sauce warm, just like in the restaurant. This experience made me realize that there's a huge difference between dried and fresh noodles. I will definitely be coming back here. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Welcome.---------- June 2017 ----------For those who know the Tohoku Expressway, there is a noodle shop known for its unique noodles. When you enter, you will see various chilled noodles in front of the office. Instead of pasta, there is a special type of noodle called "ikishimen"! Boil for 3 minutes. The texture is completely different from regular boiled noodles - it's chewy and firm. Have you ever tried thinner ikishimen in Hakata? There is also "nama-hiyamugi" - a thicker noodle that is boiled for 3 minutes and has a chewy texture. It has a strong wheat flavor and is from Sapporo. The cold ramen with a strong texture is quite unique, with a refreshing lemon sauce. It's rare to find such unique noodles - thank you for the delicious meal.

How about noodles? Sometimes, I feel lazy and just want to quickly boil some noodles to eat. "I feel like having cold noodles for lunch tomorrow..." I decide to keep my lunch simple. I buy fresh noodles for cold noodles, believing they will be tastier than dried noodles. When I try them, I find the smooth and chewy texture delightful. It's so delicious! I look up the difference between cold noodles and somen noodles, and learn that the thickness is the main distinguishing factor. Cold noodles are slightly thicker than somen noodles. I also read about Hokkaido's green noodles and now I want to try them again. Overall, I rate this place 3.3 for taste, 3.3 for service, 3.0 for atmosphere, and 3.3 for value for money. Drink options were not mentioned. Address: 3-1-47 Eitetsu, Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Next time on "Preview": "You can't go back, can you?"

Oh, what is this~:(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): It's called "Nama Hiyamugi" (chilled wheat noodles)♪ I've never heard of that word before, but I love chilled noodles like Totoron Hiyamugi (〃▽〃) Raw wheat, raw rice, raw cold wheat~~~(^O^)／Can you say it?（＾艸＾）ｳﾌﾟﾌﾟOops, I got it wrong, got it wrong haha. I recently found out that there is raw somen noodles in Iwamizawa, and I've been wanting to try it. But I never expected to find raw hiyamugi as well♪ I bought raw hiyamugi, raw noodles for ramen, hiyamugi dipping sauce, and shrimp ramen sauce. Oh, I was surprised! Hiyamugi is delicious!♪ I boiled it for just under 3 minutes, and it has such a strong texture and flavor(^^♪ It's delicious♪ I have found a great discovery (*^^)v I heard that they also sell it at the Central Wholesale Market. I'm looking forward to this summer.

▼Location▼ Located along Tohoku Street, near the intersection of Tohoku Street and Kitano Street on the side of Sakae Street. ▼About the Shop▼ Uemura Shokuryo Kakokuhin - Established in 1954, this is a long-established noodle manufacturing company in Shiroishi Sakae Street. They are known for their egg noodles, which have become popular. The company sells ramen noodles and fresh hiyamugi noodles to the general public at their office storefront. ▼Menu▼ They offer various types of noodle dishes such as ramen noodles, boiled udon, soba, and fresh hiyamugi noodles. ▼What I Ate▼ ▽Sapporo Ikachi DX Ramen, Shoyu Flavor - 260 yen (September 2016) This dish includes noodles and soup for two servings. The soup, with a strong soy sauce flavor from another company, has a simple taste that is quite good. The noodles are medium-thin, slightly curly egg noodles. The noodles have a slightly lower water content, giving them a unique texture and good firmness. ▽Momoka Ramen, Medium Thickness - 100 yen (September 2016) This is a noodle-only dish where you can choose the thickness. I chose medium thickness. I paired these noodles with a commercially available miso soup. Despite being egg noodles, they have a firm texture with good firmness, and although the water content is not high, they are well-made and delicious. ▼Impressions▼ (September 2016) Located quietly on the north side of the former Hokubu Army Headquarters, which later became the Tsukisendensho, along Tohoku Street, is a well-known long-established noodle manufacturing company. Established in 1954, Uemura specializes in ramen egg noodles and fresh hiyamugi noodles. I had been curious about Uemura's noodles, which are occasionally seen in ramen shops, so I visited for the first time. The office has a typical Showa-era feel, with noodle boxes and samples placed near the entrance. I tried the dishes mentioned above. The set with soup was simple but not bad, and the other noodle dish, recommended by Uemura, was quite good. The egg noodles were unexpectedly delicious, and I would like to buy noodles here in the future instead of at supermarkets.

I came across a flyer advertising "Nama Hiyamugi" and decided to check it out. The shop is located along Sakae Street, with a yellow flag as a landmark featuring a chick as their trademark. Although the shop looks like a regular office from the outside, it turned out to be an office inside. Surprising. You can purchase items at the office entrance. I bought the Nama Hiyamugi that caught my interest, along with other items like fresh ramen and fresh soba. The Nama Hiyamugi comes with a sauce and costs around 500 yen. I boiled it as soon as I got home and enjoyed it with just chopped green onions. The taste was unlike anything I've had before! The chewy texture of the fresh noodles and the smoothness as it goes down the throat were delicious! The satisfying chewiness also made me feel full, and it was very enjoyable. They have a website, but it seems they only offer online shopping for fresh ramen. Nama Hiyamugi may only be available for purchase at the store. It's worth it to buy just the noodles without the sauce, as it offers good value. This is a summer delicacy that allows you to indulge in a luxurious coolness. The only downside is the limited business hours until 5 pm, which may be inconvenient for those who want to stop by after work.

When looking at reviews of shops in the Central Wholesale Market, I saw information about fresh chilled wheat noodles. Since I had never tried fresh chilled wheat noodles before, I decided to go to the store to buy some. The store is located along a wide road and parking is difficult. It has an office-like appearance, but it seems to be well-known to locals as someone else came to buy while I was there. The noodles come in packs of three servings. They also sell a sauce. The noodles can last in the refrigerator for about five days. I tried the noodles with the sauce right away. They had a unique chewy texture and were very refreshing. The sauce was also delicious. These are some tasty chilled wheat noodles. I felt very satisfied. The store also had other types of noodles, such as ramen noodles and colored chilled wheat noodles. I forgot the prices, but if I'm in the area again, I would definitely buy them again. If you have the chance during the summer, be sure to try chilled wheat noodles.

The store closed at 5 pm, and I managed to make it just in time. As my mother was tidying up the front, a beautiful saleswoman - perhaps the daughter? - was inside. The quality of the noodles from this ramen shop in Sapporo is top-notch, with the yakisoba standing out in particular. It has a strong and delicious taste that can withstand intense frying, and the accompanying sauce is spicy yet has a deep flavor that even amateurs can appreciate. With noodles like these, one might mistakenly think they could run a yakisoba shop even without a griddle. Tomorrow, I will try making their excellent hiyashi chuka.

Exploring from Fukuzumi Station on the Toho Subway Line towards the city center, we stopped by various places to eat and have tea. Eventually, we reached the area around Shiroishi Station. Just before heading back, we visited "Uemura Shokuryo Kakou," a company that specializes in commercial noodle production. The factory-owned store, located right next to where the office staff works, is a small shop with a few refrigerated cases displaying fresh somen, soba, udon, yakisoba, and ramen noodles. I purchased the "Thick Curly Noodles @ 110 x 2" and also got the "Fresh Somen (3-pack) @ 360" to take home. I quickly made miso ramen with the noodles and was impressed by the fragrant aroma and firm texture, typical of noodles from a noodle factory. Without any explanation, my wife tried the noodles and declared, "These noodles are delicious." Well, at 110 yen per pack, they better be good, or else I would have been upset. We would like to eat them again, so we will visit again when we are in the area. As for the fresh somen, I will update after trying them. Thank you for the meal.

One weekend, when the worries about the number of COVID cases in Hokkaido resurfaced, I stumbled upon a cozy and welcoming shop located at 3 Sakae-dori, Shiroishi-ku. This shop sells noodles to individuals and has a small parking space where you can park your car. Inside the shop, you will find two compact refrigerated showcases displaying various types of noodles, with the option to purchase them with soup or as standalone items. On this particular day, I decided to try the "Raw Ramen with Salt (280 yen → 220 yen)" from the showcase. The noodles were a medium-sized, slightly yellow curly type with a good texture. The accompanying soup came with sauce, lard, and hidden seasoning powder, creating a delicious flavor. I may have added too much soup for one bowl, as it turned out a bit salty. I also tried the "Boiled Noodles (70 yen → 50 yen)" which reminded me of the soft noodles I used to eat as a child. When boiled and added to the salt ramen soup, it had a chewy texture and tasted like a simple yet satisfying udon. Next, I tried the "Raw Somen (280 yen)" which had a strong wheat flavor and a good firmness, likely due to being raw. Lastly, I also bought the "Yakisoba 3-pack (345 yen)" which had a different flavor compared to the usual instant noodles, taking some time to get used to. Thanks to this shop, I was able to enjoy a variety of noodles at home. Thank you for the delicious meal.
