Kishimen

Kishimen are flat wheat noodles associated with Aichi Prefecture, especially Nagoya. Their broad, thin shape distinguishes them from round udon. A familiar bowl combines the noodles with dashi and soy sauce, topped with fried tofu, fish cake, greens and bonito flakes. Some traditional broths use muro-aji, a type of scad, and tamari soy sauce.^[1]

Kishimen can be served hot or in a cold preparation called koro, in which both noodles and broth are chilled. Other versions use curry or add rice cakes. The noodles are sold in supermarkets for home cooking and also served in local noodle shops and school lunches.^[1]
