These somen noodles are hard to get overseas, but my favorite Ibonoito brand is available in Japanese grocery stores and I highly recommend this brand. Enjoy the cold somen noodles as a light meal or afternoon snack! In the last throes of summer, a mound of somen noodles served atop a bed of ice may be the perfect meal. Somen are thin wheat noodles, as thin as vermicelli, more delicate than buckwheat. Twirled around chopsticks and dipped in a sauce made with soy sauce and dashi, the noddles don't require much prep, and are utterly refreshing.
