We finally got to visit Shodoshima Island for the first time over the weekend. With the help of a bicycle we got to see a lot in just a few hours and I highly recommend it as a perfect day trip.

Surprisingly, just as exciting as the Olive Gardens, Soy Sauce Museum, factory and Soy Sauce ice cream, and the art museum were, our stop for lunch proved to be not only a refreshing, tasty and a much needed energy booster, but a learning experience. The restaurant turned into a noodle "factory" as well and we got to watch them make the noodles. They were "stretching" the noodles in front of us as we ate! The noodles themselves were new to me as I had not had Japanese Somen noodles before. Somen noodles are stretched thin wheat noodles, comparative to vermicelli and can be served both hot or cold, and absorb other flavors well. We had ours cold. The light, cool tasty noodles were perfect for the warm weather. So YUMMY!!
