Very thin white noodles served ice-cold with chilled mentsuyu dipping broth — a true warm-season dish. The toppings include myoga (Japanese ginger bud) — unfamiliar to many visitors, but worth trying. Available during the warmer months; look for it at Japanese restaurants and teishoku spots.

【季節料理】髪の毛みたいに細い、白くて冷たい夏の麺だよ。冷たいめんつゆにつけて食べるのがスタンダードで、「みょうが」っていう薬味は初めての人も多いけどぜひ一緒に食べてみてほしいな。夏に来たら和食レストランや定食屋さんで探してみてね。
