Morioka reimen (cold noodle) 2007/7/31 15:57
I was in Morioka last winter. The famous local foods are wankosoba and Morioka reimen( cold noodle). I tried both. The reimen is real good. My question is about this wonderful noodle.
Morioka reimen is served cold with slices of pork and boiled egg on top, fresh vegetables like red carrot, spring onion and melon(yes, melon) are also added with kimchi. The dish originates from Korean, that's why kimchi!
I visited Japan again in May this year, but could not find it outside Morioka.
Would really appreciate any replies if someone comes across this delicious noodle in other cities in Japan.
Thank you!

Morioka Reimen can be easily found in local supermarkets. But some stores don't sell it in winter because reimen is sold well in summer.

Morioka Reimen is so different from Korean Reimen style. You can eat Reimenin other cities in Japan, but they are almost Korean Reimen style not Morioka Reimen.

The Mitsukoshi in Ebisu has recently been carrying a Morioka reimen kit, about 1200 yen, that has the noodles, cold broth, meat, kimchi and all the other fixings.

I was just . . . 2007/9/11 09:41
. . . in JR Kawasaki Station and there's a Pyon Pyon Sha outlet in the food court there. Didn't try the reimin as too crowded.

BTW, if you've never been to JR Kawasaki Station, give it a visit sometime (don't confuse it with the Keikyu Kawasaki Station a short walk away). The Grand Food supermarket and adjacent food court on the first floor is one of the most impressive I've seen in Japan. The seafood section actually carried not one, but two types of Mehakari fish, endemic to Iwaki area. Impressive . . . The vegetable section even offered precooked vegetables.

On the upper 2-4 floors of the station is, of course, a huge mall.

If you want to eat, you might avoid the place at 1 pm on Sat. afternoon, as long lines at the restaurants and hardly an open seat at the food court.

its north korean style 2008/9/14 12:58
its korean style and they buy the ingrediants in korea.
but its originally north korean style of reimen.

and almost all reimen in japan which is called "korean style" is totally different from "real" korean reimen.
and the colors of nuddle are quite various in korea.

Reimen on Hokkaidou 2009/4/21 00:15
I lived in Hakodate and there, Morioka-style reimen was typically available in ramen houses - however, almost always only in summer. I do recall one restaurant with reimen in winter, but I can't remember which one.
