It seems that Japan's fastest Nagashi Somen noodles, which were held at Kyoto Station, had too much momentum to become "Flying Somen noodles". [entabe.com]

It has not yet been clarified whether the record was set, but it seems that there was certainly a miracle that "a rainbow can be formed with the water of somen noodles."

On July 11th at the grand staircase of the Kyoto Station Building, the " World Nagashi Somen Association ", which set a Guinness record in 2011, challenged to update the speed of Nagashi Somen in Japan (14.5km / h). The result has not been clarified yet (at the time of publication of the article).

According to the person who rushed to the site, the water had too much momentum to make it "flying somen". The reactions of Twitter users are summarized in NAVER Matome.

NAVER Matome "Nagashi Somen at 14.5km / h! Held at Kyoto Station! But wasn't it" Nagashi "? "

According to this summary, "Nagashi Somen", which did not start due to mechanical trouble at 13:00, will finally start at 14:00. If you look at the photos posted on Twitter, you can see that there was a lot of spectators at this point.

I chose the large stairs for the venue to increase the speed of somen at the angle of the stairs in order to update the speed of 14.5km / h! I thought that it was a strategy to raise the pressure of the pump and blow off somen (= speed up!). Twitter users said, "You should reconsider the significance of Nagashi Somen and the Great Stairs."

By the way, this time, it seems that a miracle that "a rainbow can be formed with the water of Nagashi Somen" has occurred. Is it worth the challenge (support) just for this? Expectations for the next "fastest Nagashi Somen" will also increase!
