Vegetables

Ume Plum Somen "Setouchi Kama-age Shirasu and Summer Vegetables Ume Plum Somen" is made with plenty of vegetables, shirasu, and accents of myoga and shiso leaves. It is served with a homemade ume plum sauce for a refreshing taste.


The container is divided into two layers, with the somen noodles and chopped vegetables on the bottom and the toppings on top. The toppings are added by the customer when eating the dish.
