#311: Vifon Tasty Asian Style Instant Noodle Mushroom Flavor

Some fresh noodles. Some this time – I know Udon, but what it somen? Wikipedia says:

The distinction between sōmen and the next thicker wheat noodles hiyamugi and even thicker Japanese wheat noodles udon is mostly the size of the noodle. Somen noodles are stretched when made, as are some types of udon noodles. ...see full post
