Difference between "somen" and "hiyamugi"
By the way, do you know the difference between "somen" and "hiyamugi"? Both are dried noodles made from wheat flour, but are currently classified according to the "thickness of noodles" according to the JAS standard.
"Somen" is noodles with a diameter of less than 1.3 mm. "Hiyamugi" is 1.3 mm to less than 1.7 mm. In other words,
"somen" is a little thinner . However, in the case of "hand-rolled", it is OK to write noodles with a diameter of less than 1.7 mm as "somen" or "hiyamugi".
Personally, I prefer to use "somen" when I want to eat it with a light sauce, and "Hiyamugi" when I want to enjoy it like pasta with a thick sauce. As the range of arrangements expands, it will become an ingredient that you can't let go of in the summer!
