Noodles
Noodles have an extended history in Japan
and still today they are probably the most
consumed food in the country. In general
there are four types of noodles commonly
eaten. Soba noodles, made from buckwheat
flour, are thin and gray-brown. Udon noodles
come from wheat flour and are very thick
and whitish. Ramen, still thought of as Chinese
though Japanese consume them voraciously,
are medium thickness and gray. Lastly, hiyamugi
and somen noodles are quite thin and usually
eaten cold. |
