Somen

Uncommonly thin, chilled Japanese wheat flour noodles served with a light dipping sauce. A seasonal dish that's considered a way to keep cool on a hot day. Somen is occasionally served on top of ice. Another way to serve it, known as Nagashi-somen, floats the noodles down a long flume of bamboo in cold water while people fish for the noodles with their chopsticks. This is a popular tradition for family parties in the summer.
