Kishimen | Traditional Noodle Dish From Nagoya, Japan | TasteAtlas

Kishimen

(棊子麺, きし麺, Kishimen Noodles)

Kishimen is the name for a type of Japanese flat noodles with rough and crinkled edges. It is most commonly found in the Nagoya area. These long, soft, and thick noodles are usually served in a white (salt) or red (soy sauce) broth, sometimes with a bit of sweet sake added for extra flavor.


The dish usually includes ingredients such as deep-fried bean curd, steamed fish paste, and spinach, while bonito flakes are typically sprinkled on top before serving. In Japan, many people enjoy kishimen at crowded platforms while waiting for their train to arrive.
