Morioka Reimen

Morioka reimen is a cold noodle dish associated with Morioka in Iwate Prefecture. Wheat flour and potato starch make smooth, strongly chewy noodles. A familiar broth combines beef or beef bones with chicken stock, while kimchi adds acidity and heat. Beef, cucumber and boiled egg are common toppings, served with the chilled soup.[2][3]

The dish draws on the Korean cold-noodle traditions of Hamhung and Pyongyang, adapted by noodle makers in Morioka. It is eaten in the city's barbecue and noodle restaurants.[1]
