[Yamagata] Perfect for a summer trip! I'm going to eat all the cold noodle!

No matter how cool Tohoku is, summers are still hot.
When you're traveling from place to place, you'll want to eat cold food. Yamagata Prefecture is known for having many shops that sell cold noodles such as barley cutlets, cold meat soba, and hiyashi ramen. Let's go to some popular shops.

barley cutting

Mugikiri is a local noodle that has been loved for a long time in the Daisen area on the outskirts of Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture.
The surface, made by kneading wheat and cutting it into thin pieces with a knife, has a rustic flavor that is appealing.

There are several restaurants in Tsuruoka City that sell barley cutlets, but each restaurant seems to have different points, such as whether they are particular about the wheat they use or are confident in their tsuyu (tsuyu).

Popular barley cutting shop “Nezaya Hanbeiko”

"Nezakuya Hanbeiko" boasts a history of 140 years since its establishment. It has a distinctive mellow soup made with locally produced soy sauce, and is said to be ``so delicious that even a sleeping person will wake up.''

The candy-colored noodles are made with a unique blend of wheat, so you can enjoy the exquisite chewiness and flavor.
