Yoshiya Hyande Somen 600g (ひゃんでそうめん) — fine, delicate dried somen from Matsudaisoba Yoshiya's value-priced「ひゃんで」(Hyande) range. "Hyande" is a dialect word from the Gosen area of Niigata Prefecture meaning "amazing" — the maker's own name for this great-value line. Each 600g bag holds six pre-portioned 100g bundles.
About Yoshiya
Matsudaisoba Yoshiya Co., Ltd. (株式会社松代そば善屋) is a Niigata noodle maker that has produced dried noodles for over 75 years since 1951, working from Matsudai in Tokamachi City. Its three dried-noodle factories hold FSSC22000 international food-safety certification, and it dries its noodles slowly at low temperature (below 32°C) to draw out flavour and firmness. (The "Yoshiya" name comes from its affiliate, Yoshiya Foods Co., Ltd.)
What is somen
Somen (そうめん) are very thin, delicate Japanese wheat noodles that cook in a couple of minutes — light and smooth, and most associated with chilled summer eating.
How to use & enjoy
Somen is enjoyed two standard ways: chilled with a cold dipping sauce (hiyashi somen), the classic hot-weather dish, or hot in a light dashi-based broth (nyumen) in cooler months — the same noodle simply switches with the season. It's typically garnished with chopped scallion, grated ginger, myoga and shiso, and rounded into a fuller meal with light additions such as egg, tofu, mushrooms or edamame.
