Soken-sha Awamen is a firm noodle made without using any buckwheat flour or wheat flour. It is finished with tapioca starch (processed starch) as a binder for millet (uruchiawa). It is produced at a dedicated factory in Japan. It can be used with Chinese-style soups such as ramen.

This noodle is made using tapioca starch (processed starch) as a binder for millet, a grain that has been consumed since ancient times. It is rich in iron and also suitable for supplementing zinc and vitamin B1.

**How to Cook:**
1. Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large pot, then add the noodles and loosen them with chopsticks.
2. The noodles will be ready in about 5 minutes. Take out 2-3 strands to check the firmness. When it reaches your preferred level of doneness, turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let it steam for 2 minutes.
3. After steaming, transfer the noodles to a colander and rinse with running water.
4. Serve with your preferred sauce and condiments.

*Note:* These noodles also go well with Chinese-style soups, so you can enjoy them as ramen.

**About Soken-sha:**
A food company with a history of over half a century, dedicated to quality. When it was founded in 1968, during Japan’s high economic growth period, many food additives such as synthetic fragrances, colorings, and preservatives were being developed, and processed foods made by industrial methods for mass production were rapidly increasing.

The founder, Takao Nakamura, advocated that "what we eat and how we eat it are always connected to how we live. Improving our diet is about improving our way of life." Feeling a crisis about Japan’s changing food environment, he established Soken-sha with the desire to deliver healthier foods.

Over more than fifty years, the company has consistently pursued themes now recognized as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rather than following food trends, Soken-sha maintains a stance of "being conscious of the environment and human health, questioning whether the current state is okay for long-term societal improvement," and proposes alternative ideas in product form. We call this approach the "Counter Vision Company," and we will continue to act in a way that makes good choices for society.
