What is "olive somen"?

ChatGPT

“Olive somen” is a special type of somen made with olive oil. Somen is a traditional Japanese noodle made mainly from wheat flour and is a cool dish often eaten in the summer.

As the name suggests, olive somen is made with olive oil. Olive oil is a commonly used edible oil in the Mediterranean region and is considered to be good for health. Using olive oil adds flavor and richness to the somen, giving it a refreshing taste.

Olive somen is generally boiled in cold water and then soaked in ice water and eaten cold. Somen may also come with a variety of toppings. The specific toppings vary according to individual tastes and recipes, but thinly sliced ​​cucumbers, tomatoes, seaweed, green onions, and perilla leaves are often used.

Olive somen is popular when you want to enjoy a refreshing meal on a hot summer day. The combination of the flavor of olive oil and the light texture of somen allows you to enjoy a refreshing taste.

where is it manufactured?

Olive somen is generally manufactured by food manufacturers and noodle companies in Japan. These companies produce special somen noodles made with olive oil and supply them to the market.

In Japan, food manufacturers and noodle companies throughout Japan produce olive somen using their own methods and brands. Major food manufacturers and noodle companies have factories and manufacturing bases in multiple regions, and the olive somen produced there is distributed nationwide.
