Flowing noodle 2024 (ながしそうめん)

Nagashi Somen (flowing noodles) at Ohmori lab has become an annual event! This year, taking advantage of last year’s experience, the event was more successful and well-planned.

Headed by  Suzui-san, the team did everything from obtaining the bamboo to assembling it themselves! This year, we made baby sponge cakes together, prepared lots of condiments, boiled somen noodles together, and enjoyed preparing them in teams★

After filling up on Nagashi Somen, we split a watermelon!Wearing blindfolds and spinning in circles Everyone worked together and successfully split the watermelon!We all enjoyed eating the delicious watermelon! We had a great time and could feel the “Japanese summer”.

*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.
