nagashi somen
Go devises his own, completely unique way to enjoy a classic summer meal, and named it: Jibun wo Nagashi Somen.
Takara Tomy’s new palm-sized gadget helps you enjoy flowing nagashi-somen noodles at a responsible social distance.
Nagashi somen-style dining at home for when your local restaurant and water park are closed.
Is this the makings of a great meal in the great outdoors, or another one of Mr. Sato’s too-crazy-for-his-own-good schemes?
