Be a SAMURAI
Born over four centuries ago out of a son's devoted care for his ailing father, Shiroishi Umen Noodles is a short wheat noodle celebrated for its kindness. Deeply moved by this filial story, Katakura Kojuro, the lord of Shiroishi Castle, bestowed the name "Umen" (Warm Noodles) upon the dish, establishing a beloved regional staple. Crafted purely from flour, salt, and mountain water without a single drop of oil, these noodles are exceptionally gentle on the digestive system, making them an ideal, rejuvenating morning meal. After savoring a steaming bowl in the crisp morning air, take a guided stroll through the birthplace of Umen, tracing a 400-year culinary heritage shaped by compassion and craft.
