Shodoshima somen noodles

Shodoshima in Kagawa Prefecture is one of Japan's most famous destinations for somen noodles. 

Rooted to its 400-year history in noodle making, the island and its locals thrive at producing somen.

Shodoshima somen noodles have a distinct chewy texture, and making it is very much a traditional affair. Locals make them by mixing wheat flour, salt water, and locally-produced sesame oil. 

Then, they patiently stretch it by hand and dry it under the sun for a few hours.

Visitors in Shodoshima can get a hands-on experience at somen making via reservation.
 
Go on a tour of their noodle factories, take part in stretching and dividing the noodle dough, and enjoy the fruit of your hard work with a cup of somen soup at home! Definitely a must-try for when you visit Japan.
