#4144: Sugakiya Nagoya Kishimen - Japan

Here’s another one from James of Lakeside, CA – thanks again! This one seems to be a dry variety – drain spouts usually denote this. From the iconography it’s a steep, drain, pouch affair but that seems a little weird for this one. But, it’s the most logical steps for preparation I can grok from what I see, so… Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

These came by way of James from Lakeside California and looks like Snapdragon has dressed up their packaging yet again.

But I’m in the mood so these at least have that going for them. Let’s give them a try! ...see full post
