I think it’s a combination of the ‘we use this trough for everyone all day’ and the fact that the name is really similar to ‘semen,’ but this sounds highly unappealing.

Tenniswaffles ,

You just made it seem much more appealing.

The noodles just slide down your throat.

tiredofsametab ,

It is unappealing. I would not eat at a place like that. Some do have separate chopsticks for catching the somen (long o, so probably sounds less like semen than you might think), but it's still not great. I have seen it at family events as well.

tilefan ,

apparently the noodles are served cold and that sounds awful as well

tiredofsametab ,

Why? Cold noodles are nice and refreshing. Pasta salad (cold noodles) is a thing all over the place.

tilefan ,

yeah and I hate it

It’s probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn’t wash after coming back from the toilet.

Kind of like buffets.

Tell me you've never spent long in Japan without telling me you've never spent long in Japan. We had a problem during corona where people would remove their masks to sneeze or cough. We have tons of gross people over here.

At least they were wearing their masks, many people I worked with during the pandemic kept masks in their pockets or hanging from the rear view mirror in their cars, but refused to wear them for any reason.

Food in water… No thanks.

Thorry84 ,

Soup is food!

Thanks for being pedantic but I clearly meant putting prepared food in water and not food where water is an ingredient.

Cenzorrll ,

That’s how these noodles are prepared, they’re run through cold water and served cold. The novelty here is it flows through a trough to you, instead of chilled out of sight and served.

served cold.

😰

bamfic ,

I read that as nagasaki semen and was very confused.

downpunxx ,

ewww, imagine how many people have breathed over that water trough
