🗺️ NAKABU Inn

Shodoshima somen has a history of over 400 years and is the most famous local product of Shodoshima. NAKABU-an (なかぶ庵) is a specialty store that inherits traditional manufacturing methods while incorporating modern essence, producing handmade somen noodles. Their signature product is the "nama somen," crafted with exclusive techniques to showcase a soft and chewy texture with excellent elasticity. The "olive nama somen," luxuriously made with 100% Shodoshima olive juice from their own farm and premium extra virgin olive oil, has also received high praise. In the restaurant next to the factory, visitors can enjoy high-quality freshly made somen. Additionally, guests can participate in the "hashi bun experience" to learn the techniques of making hand-stretched somen, and through factory tours, they can understand the production process of somen. "Visit, experience, and taste" allows one to personally feel the charm of Shodoshima somen through all five senses. The factory's direct sales shop offers "nama somen," "sun-dried somen," and "hand-stretched somen," along with exclusive products made from olives grown on their own farm.

Taste the over 400-year-old Shodoshima somen noodles. In addition to dining and shopping, you can also participate in chopstick-making experiences and factory tours. Reservations are required in advance for dining, experiences, and factory tours.
