Beppu Reimen (Cold Noodle)

“Beppu Reimen (Cold Noodle)” is one of the food specialties of Beppu. With the Japanese style broth soup and chewy noodles with buckwheat, the Chinese-style barbecued beef shank meat, and sour cabbage kimchi give accents to its flavor. Having reimen after a hot bath tastes superb.

In general, buckwheat is used for the noodles, but some restaurants do not use them or have a non-buckwheat option. It is a good idea to check when ordering if you have a buckwheat allergy.
