Eating Cold Noodle Flowing from Bamboo River
Trying the most popular Flowing Somen (Nagashi Somen) restaurant in Japan.
A fun summer dish where you try to catch cold noodles sliding down bamboo poles!
Nagashi Somen @Hirobun
Starts at 11am and they stop accepting orders at 1pm

Incredibly gorgeous location, but I don't need this fast paced kind of anxiety with my lunch. 😂

There's actually a way you can tell when the noodles are coming! If you look carefully there's like a small burst of water about half a second before the noodles come out. Gives you time to prepare.

Also note that before it happens, the noodles block some of the water - the flow lessens before the brief burst.

Nagashi Somen is eaten during the hot summer months and originated before the development of modern air conditioning. The flowing water helps keep the noodles cool, which conveys a refreshing sensation when eaten by diners.

This sounds absolutely amazing after a nice walk to such a gorgeous location. I could definitely see this being worth the effort, some of the good things in life are worth a bit of extra work. Kind of like how people enjoy going on long hikes and setting up a picnic, this isn’t really much different. This would be a super relaxing mental health/self-care day lunch.

I legit thought they were going to pick the noodles out of the river😂Honestly, that would've been far more interesting. The noodles would have a VERY interesting taste, being that it mixes with the bacteria and flora of the atmosphere. So now you literally FEEL the environment inside of you, and not just around you. It literally becomes a 4-dimensional kind of experience. But then again, the sanitation issue becomes the obstacle to that.
very interesting. thank you for showing us how to catch japanese noodles in their natural habitat.

That was so much fun, thank you for taking us along and including the bus ride, scenery, menus, etc! Another epic video from Dancing Bacon!! ❤from 🇨🇦
How fun! The noodles go by much faster than expected! I'm left handed, so this would be a very challenging meal for me.

This is honestly a genius way of saving food. Everything that's sent down seems to be well portioned for only one bite. Grab, eat, and repeat until satisfied. The fact there is a good amount of time between each serving allows the body to adjust to what's already been consumed. Eat until you're satisfied, not until you're full.
From the title and the thumbnail this looks like such a peaceful, meditative experience, but it's more like being a bear trying to smack salmon out of the river, except you're a vegetarian bear and the river is a log flume ride.

This has to be the most unique eating experience in the most beautiful settings. It's my favorite video by far. Thank you for sharing
Always a fun time seeing what's next for restaurants and food, you guys always surprise us. Thanks for sharing. 💕🥓
How picturesque! 😍 even from your video I can tell that the air is beautifully fresh up on that mountain 🩷🌸
It looks fun but also stressful like playing a platformer game with timed sections! Also, all that running water with no restrooms and long waiting times could be difficult! 😂
Kyoto is beautiful and people there are so nice. I had an exchange program once in our school with students of high school in Kyoto. The locals of Kyoto were so hard working and happy, made me wish to stay there forever.
I would love to try the full service restaurant up top and just watch the noodle fishers 😊
Wow, it’s so beautiful there❣️I love cold Japanese noodles. 😋
watching these videos have opened me up to try so many new delicious things, im very grateful to experience things i never will through such great people
The beauty of that place poked me in the soul ❤️❤️

I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of this, but seeing it in action, it actually looks pretty fun! The backdrop is a really nice touch, too. I'd still rather eat the traditional way, though. :P
The profit this restaurant brings in must be astonishing. Wow.
Somen is great in during the summer. You cook it and then put it in an ice bath and it's a super refreshing way to have noodles when it hot without also eating hot noodles. I eat mine with grated ginger, katsuobushi, green onions, and sesame seeds.
How beautiful. Such a unique place. ❤
its so much fun watching youre videos no talking but more natural or calmer noises
This is on my to do list for when I go to Japan!!!
Thanks for da upload! Really enjoyed it. Cookin and food is a kind of art and feel like the japanese cuisine is not only very diverse, but also highlights this aspect a lot. Like your content. Hope to eat something like that too one day! 😁🤤 Straight from da bamboo~
Very unique approach to eating noodles. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I remember when Mike Chen went here! It looks amazing 🤩
I’ve always wanted to see this and I think it’s awesome! I would love to visit that place.
The place is wonderful to spending quality time with families ❤
Thank you for sharing with us. My spouse and I always enjoy your content. Keep up the great work! (Say "Hi" to your partner also, it is always a pleasure to see you both.)
Very cool idea I love the nature and the concept once in a life time kinda place..
Ah yes, a “bamboo” river. It’s fascinating and everything, the scenery is amazing and I’d like to give it a shot, but guarantee I’d miss a lot of it.
The most important part of my daily routine: watching a DB video as soon as it's posted❣😄
The place looks beautiful and the noodles look good. It looks like fun trying to catch the noodles, too! I wonder what they do to the uncaught noodles though.
Next time I go to Japan, I may have to try this out, for sure!
Lugares lindos e especiais❤❤❤
Great and differnt restaurant experience. Learning something new when I watch you videos. 💜💛💜💛

Anxiety noodles.

I remember watching such concept in Doraemon and Shin Chan back in the days and ngl I was fascinated. This is just so calming

Noticed there is a tell when noodles are about to appear, the water flow speeds up, giving you a few extra seconds to react.

This seems like more of an experience than a full on meal. Very beautiful scenery and experience tho!
Thank you I was thinking about this the other day and hoping you would go visit one again.
This is incredible.
What a horrible concept for a meal😂 but the location was beautiful 🤩
Thank you for the wonderful video of eating Takegawa cold noodles 👍
interesting and fun concept for a restaurant
Looks super fun!!! I don’t think I would be full at the end of a lunch of pure noodles tho 😆 would probably hit the upper restaurant part afterwards
Natural Colourful food .. Excellent
That does look fun. I might miss one or two. I'm curious about the restaurant on top though! 😅

Love the spider appreciation ❤
Yes!! I hoped you would make this video!! :)
I have mixed feeling about this. I just want to relax and take my time when eating. Here, i have to eat fast, not just because of the long waiting line behind me, but you never know when the noodles might come out.
Like catching food in the wild...salmon run. Neat bus ride and walk...like a theme park...maybe better at crowd control 😎
Things like this looks fun but becomes even better when experienced personally. Thanks for sharing this cold and refreshing show to us lad. I guess those yakuza games does mirror reality, instead of telephone QTE its your food that is needed to be timely moved at.
imagine the saliva from the front people streaming together with the noodles 😋😋😋😋😋
Japan has such creative restaurants. The experience adds to the elegance of the meal. I've only been in Japan once, a four hour layover in the Osaka airport. I didn't eat but it was a very pleasant wait.
Please be careful!! A lot of people recently got sick eating at a noodle slide restaurant!

I've eaten here! My Japanese teacher took us when we went with our high school class. We hiked up the mountain the whole way and stopped to wade in a shallow river cause it was hot an muggy. We had no idea where we were going except that there was a restaurant at the top. We were luckily able to take the bus back down. I would love to visit again! It was very fun to catch the noodles.
What a cool experience! The location was beautiful. Mrs Bacons was so sweet to share her pink noodles

What a beautiful place and fun way to eat! I would love it, i started teaching myself to use chopsticks when i was 5, my dad was stationed in Okinawa and used them, and i thought it was the coolest thing ever. My lady? Not so much, she struggles with large chunks of meat.😂
It wouldnt be something I would chose to do as I prefer to relax to eat but it is a beautiful location. I would opt for the regular dining experience though as the water is amazing sounding. Neat idea though. I do ownder though if the different tube have different numbers of people as it did seem as though the furthest tube got triple noodles while I feel you got a few bites each
Very few places I will wait to eat but this would be fun.
I'm living my life vicariously through this chinnel❤
Haha I would never want to eat this way but it was very interesting to see
I am way too uncoordinated to catch my lunch ha ha but really cool concept and really beautiful scenery the sounds are just so peaceful to hear.
