Kishimen
Japan · East Asia
- Short description
- This noodle bowl stands out because the noodles are broad and flat rather than round or thick.
- Ingredients
- Flat wheat noodles with dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, fried tofu, green onion, and bonito flakes.
- Cultural note
- The flat shape gives the noodles a slippery texture and lets the broth cling across a wider surface.
- Common misconception
- It is not just regular udon cut shorter; the broad, flat noodle shape is the defining feature.
