Tourists catch break from the heat with ‘flowing noodles’ーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS #shorts

Kibune in northern Kyoto offers the perfect escape from Japan’s stifling early summer heat. Not only is the elevated location 5 degrees Celsius cooler than the city center, but it also offers a refreshing river-side dining experience. Visitors come in big numbers for the nagashi-somen—noodles that flow down a bamboo chute in chilled water. Using chopsticks, the diners catch the noodles as they float past, then dunk them in a cold broth for eating.
