FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why do the noodles vary in thickness?

Hand-stretched somen changes slightly with each day's temperature, humidity and drying — a natural sign of handcraft.

Some noodles look white and some yellowish.

This comes from differences in drying speed and does not affect quality. They look the same once boiled.

How much is one serving?

One bundle (100 g) is about one adult serving.

How should I store an opened pack?

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Do you ship overseas?
