In recent years, Japanese food has become known worldwide. There may be a Japanese restaurant in your town.
However, there are still a lot of Japanese “おいしい oisii/ delicious meals.
In this series of posts, I’ll introduce Japanese food that isn’t well known overseas.
This time “noodles”
Ramen has become quite famous today, but there are many other noodles in Japan.
This time I will try to introduce such noodles
If you go to Japan, please try it!
そば soba
Ramen, Soba , Udon are BIG3 noodles in Japan.
“Soba” is noodles made from buckwheat flour.
It’s lighter than other noodles. So I eat when I don’t have much appetite.
You can eat it cold or warm.

うどん udon
It is a noodle dish that competes with ramen and soba.
It is made from wheat. and characterized by the thick and soft noodles.
Udon can be eaten hot and cold.
There are so many types of udon and soba, so I’ll pick them up and Introduce again someday.
People living in Kagawa prefecture especially like udon noodles abnormally, so they are often teased.
Japanese people often have civil wars.
which do you like more udon or soba?
そうめん soumen
It is less popular than ramen, soba, and udon.
Very thin Therefore, it’s better when you don’t have an appetite than soba.
In summer, the outside is hot and many people do not have an appetite. So many people eat somen.
焼(や)きそば yakisoba
Yakisoba is a staple food at festivals.
People rarely eat this at shops, but often at outside stalls.
Noodles made of the same material as ramen are often used.
Cook on an iron plate with sweet salty sauce.
長崎(ながさき)ちゃんぽん nagasaki-chanpon
Originally, local food in Nagasaki Prefecture.
Now it is eaten all over Japan.
It is said to be healthy because it has more vegetables than other noodle dishes.
冷(ひ)やし中華(ちゅうか) hiyashi-chuka
Summer limited noodle dishes.
“ひやし” means cold.
The sour soup is a perfect match for summer.
If you come to Japan in the summer, you have to eat!
和風(わふう)たらこスパ(すぱ) wahuu tarako supa
The last one I will introduce is spaghetti.
The Japanese are very good at Japaneseizing overseas food.
Ramen is originally Chinese food.
There are some Japanese spaghettis.
“和風（わふう wahu)たらこ” is one of the most popular Japanese-style spaghetti.
わふう＝japanese style
The soy sauce base and the nori (seaweed) and tarako(Cod roe) are a great match.
