[First of all, I want you to know]
The history of hand-stretched somen noodles on Awaji Island dates back to the time of the "Tenpo year" in the late Edo period.
It is said that people from the Fukura area of the area saw somen making when they passed by Miwa on their way back from visiting Ise, and stayed for a few years to learn the technique and return to spread it.
There is also a "somen association" on Awaji Island, and its heyday as a production area was around the time of the Meiji era, and it spread as a side job for fishermen when the sea was rough in winter and they could not go fishing, and about 140 producers and about 40,000 boxes were manufactured in wooden boxes that could hold 18 kg as a production.
Currently, there are 12 members of the cooperative, and the production volume is around 5,000 boxes of 18k boxes, which is a small production area of about 0.3% or less in terms of the national share of production volume.
Awaji Island's somen noodles are rarely sold at general retailersExtremely rareIt's Nasomen.
Although it has a surprising history as a production area, it is not well known at all.
Even if you are an islander, half of you know about it.
Not only for the islanders, but also for the whole country≪ Awaji Island also has surprisingly delicious somen noodles≫and
In order to let you know, I am also doing steady activities such as going to exhibitions, sales, and tasting sales at stores (although I haven't been able to do it at all recently...).
We often hear from customers that "dry noodles are plain," but I feel it when I eat delicious foodFeeling of well-beingWe are doing our best to make even one person who has eaten our noodles feel it.
Also, I myself like to eat noodles, and it's safe to eat them myself."Oh ~ this is delicious ~"I try to make products that I can think of.
