Okay, ready for more info or are you still watching this on loop? Deep breaths. You’ll find these noodles near the Japanese city of Kyoto at a mountain-top restaurant called Hirobun. The noodles themselves are Nagashi Somen or “flowing noodles”, and you “catch, dip and eat” them.

It’s a traditional and fun way of eating noodles – the noodles cool down in the icy water and are a tasty snack in the summer.

Once you catch them you dip them in a soy sauce broth that you are provided with. You sit with a group of friends and the sessions typically last 15 minutes. It’s a quick-fire noodle adventure.

You better be seriously skilled with those chopsticks, otherwise the noodles are going to go shooting past you and leave you empty handed…

Many people have pointed out on social media that there are serious hygiene concerns with this way of serving food. The restaurant though, assure you that if noodles are missed by the diners’ chopsticks they are not reused and everything is cleaned between sessions.

You can see the noodles in more detail in this video…

This really is a truly once in a lifetime dining experience. You get to listen to the waterfalls just behind the noodle shoot too, which only makes it more atmospheric.
