Nagashi Somen : A traditional summer noodle in Japan English LIST “Nagashi Somen” is the first thing that comes to Japanese People‘s minds when they think of summer meals in Japan. People pick thin somen noodles with their chopsticks that are flowing down in cold water in a slanted bamboo chute and dip the noodles in tsuyu sauce. It is a cool and refreshing way of eating, which is perfect for the hot and humid Japanese summer. It is a meal but also a fun event during Japanese summer. There is also “Somen Nagashi” where noodles are flowing around a motorized slider machine instead of bamboo chut. These Somen Nagashi machines are commercially available, so you can enjoy “Somen Nagashi” at home with your family as well. Here is a list of 28 “Nagashi Somen” and “Somen Nagashi” restaurants in Japan in English and traditional Chinese characters. If you are planning to visit these areas, why don’t you try the Japanese fun summer tradition? The most popular restaurants are Hirobun (Kyoto Prefecture), Tsukimae-no-taki Momijien (Ibaraki Prefecture), Miwa Somen Nagashi (Nara Prefecture), Chaya Kado (Kanagawa Prefecture), and Amidagatakiso (Gifu Prefecture). 繁體中文（Traditional Chinese LIST）說起日本的夏日美食，各位首先聯想到的可能就是“流水素面”。把竹子劈成兩半後，於竹子中間倒入冷水和素面，並用筷子夾取流動的素麵食用。這是一種非常適合在炎熱夏天的飲食方式。不只可以享用清爽美味的素面，更是作為一項有趣的消暑活動, 日本國內十分受歡迎。另外，最近市面上開始販售能把素麵放進桌邊周圍的人造水流裡流動，在家也能享受“流水素面”的塑料桌子。read moreNagashi Somen : A traditional summer noodle in Japan

Sakoya I cycled from Nakamura Station on the downstream Shimanto River to Ekawasaki Station on the upstream from 8 am on April 19th (Tuesday). For breakfast, I had a rice bowl topped with grilled natural eel at “Sakoya”, which is a short distance across the Sada Chinka-bashi Bridge (Imanari Bridge). When I made a request to “eat the natural eel of the Shimanto River”, I was told “Sakoya” by the Shimanto City Tourism Association at Nakamura Station. “Sakoya” is open from 7:00 to 14:00, so we can have a a rice bowl topped with grilled natural eel as breakfast. Locals were eating breakfast such as ham and eggs at “Sakoya”. “Sakoya” goes to the Shimanto River every morning to catch natural eels, and if they cannot catch natural eels, they will provide farmed eels. Since eel fishing in the Shimanto River is limited to April 1st to September 30th, you can also eat Sakoya’s natural eels only from April to September.

FUKUBEER After enjoying a walk in the “Takehara Preservation District of Important Historical Buildings”, I drank FUKUBEER at “Roadside Station Takehara”. FUKUBEER is a golden ale containing honey from “FUKUBEE”, which runs an apiary in Tanoura, Takehara City. It is a collaboration product of “FUKUBEE” and Iwami Bakushu in Iwami City, Iwate Prefecture. Although it is a beer, it contains honey, so it was a beer with a gentle taste that was perfect for drinking in the morning. FUKUBEER doesn’t hit much even if I search the Web, so I think it’s a limited beer with a small amount of production. Especially for women who are not good at bitter taste of beer, I think it is a perfect beer, so I would like to expect it to be sold nationwide. The design of the beer bottle was also cute. “Roadside Station Takehara” sells a lot of locally grown vegetables, and many Takehara citizens enjoyed shopping even in the morning.
