Okabe's Commitment to Noodle Making

Carefully selected ingredients and craftsmanship

The basics of making noodles are only flour, salt, and water. The simplicity of this process allows the taste of the ingredients to be felt straight away. For this reason, we use carefully selected ingredients. For the flour, only the central part of the wheat is used...to use an analogy with rice, only the part used for daiginjo is used, and this produces a sweetness without any cloying taste. The salt is a perfect blend of common salt and natural salt (Hakata salt and Uzushio salt) to maximize the sweetness of the flour. These carefully selected ingredients are adjusted to the optimum balance according to daily temperature and humidity by our skilled noodle craftsmen.

18 Layers of Noodles" that Determine the Deliciousness of the Noodles

Okabe's noodles are made by repeatedly weaving three strips into one, then two strips into one, and so on, just like braiding a braid, to create a final 18 noodle layers. This process is carefully carried out while the noodles rest, resulting in soft yet firm noodles.

18 layers of noodles

Okabe's most distinctive feature, the "twist.

In addition to the traditional method of making Handa Somen, which has been handed down in the Handa area of Tokushima Prefecture for about 300 years, Okabe's key point is that the "twisting" process is applied firmly. This process spirals the noodles and produces noodles that are firm and smooth.

Features of Okabe's "ultra-thin noodles

1. 18 layers of the most delicious extreme fineness

It is extremely difficult even for noodle craftsmen who have been involved in this field for many years to stretch Okabe's noodles to this thinness while retaining their strong firmness and elasticity.

The "ultra-thin noodles" are made by repeatedly "twisting, forging, and stretching" to create as many as 18 layers per noodle, and then stretching them to the thinnest possible thickness, which is thin but firm and gives the noodles an outstanding thirst-quenching taste.

2. available only during the summer season

The noodles are sold only during the summer season each year, as they are difficult to produce due to the amount of time and effort required, which even noodle craftsmen have a hard time doing. It is so popular during the summer season that more than 3.5 million servings were sold last season. Please enjoy bukkake koh thin noodles with your favorite condiments on a hot day.
