PARTY

流しそうめん Flowing noodle 2025

The annual Ohmori Lab’s Nagashi Somen Party has become a tradition. This year, many guests gathered, making it an even more spectacular event. Led by Suzui-san, the team divided into groups to make bamboo slides, cut the grass at the venue, prepare the somen noodles, and cook. Everyone worked together to create a fantastic event that was a great success😊⭐

After the flowing noodles, another annual event took place: watermelon smashing! This year, it was quite difficult to break, and several members gave it a try! Thank you very much, Sylvain-sensei and Akane-san, for the large, sweet watermelon🍉⭐

*Sōmen (Japanese: 素麺) is a very thin noodle made of wheat flour.
*Nagashi-sōmen (流しそうめん flowing noodles):Using a bamboo cut in half, somen noodles are floated along with water, caught with chopsticks, and eaten. This is considered a summer custom in Japan.
*Suikawari (スイカ割り watermelon smashing), is a Japanese beach activity in summer. Similar to the Mexican piñata, suikawari involves blindfolded players trying to smash a watermelon guided by the shouts of their friends.
