Production begins by adding salt water to flour and kneading it well to create "noodle dough." This "noodle dough" is carefully stretched and finished into somen noodles. This is a traditional hand-stretched method that has been practiced in the Banshu region for about 600 years. If the "noodle dough" is forcibly stretched thin in a short period, it will break, so it is stretched as much as possible without force while twisting it, then rested (aged), and then stretched again. "Ibo no Ito" is carefully made by repeating this "resting (aging)" and "stretching" process several times, requiring 11 steps until it becomes a product. Ingredients: Flour (manufactured in Japan), Salt, Vegetable Oil Usage: [Before opening] Store at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. [After opening] Seal the opening, avoid direct sunlight, store in a cool, dry place at room temperature, and consume as soon as possible.
This is a masterpiece that is most favored as a gift. Tokkyu (Special Grade) is an exquisite product made with high-quality raw flour during the coldest period (December to February). Production is limited to skilled manufacturers selected and designated by the association. Only products that pass inspection by an inspection supervisor are affixed with an inspection certificate and become "Ibo no Ito." Products stored in dedicated warehouses are periodically rechecked for grading status by inspection supervisors. While boiling water, untie the bands of the required number of bundles and prepare them. (When eating with dipping sauces such as cold somen, about 2 bundles per adult is a guideline.) When using for dishes like nyumen (hot somen soup) or stir-fries, it is recommended to shorten the boiling time (1 to 1 minute 30 seconds) in consideration of re-heating after boiling, which will make it even more delicious. Healthy and delicious somen noodles can be transformed into various gourmet noodle dishes depending on your ideas. Combine with seasonal vegetables and fruits for fresh salad noodles. It's also good to pair with seafood and seaweed with a fragrant sesame sauce. Alternatively, finish it in an Italian style for a hearty dish. It pairs exceptionally well with a stimulating tomato sauce. It's also perfect with curry flavor, which children love. For warm noodle dishes, top with your favorite ingredients and condiments. Somen noodles can be enjoyed in various flavors. [Important] Please note that if the manufacturer renews the product and changes the packaging (including contents), we will deliver the new packaging.
