Japan’s Iconic Flowing Noodle Restaurant Closed Due to Mass Food Poisoning. Noodles are not the kin

“Many traditional establishments like Ōtaki Sōmen cook their noodles in a kitchen as expected. But then, instead of plating the noodles, they stream them––in river water. The restaurant delivers noodles to each customer in a stream of fast-flowing water that flows through a cut-open bamboo shoot. “The rest is up to the customer. Customers scoop up the noodles from the stream and into their cups of sauce with their chopsticks.”
