Miwa were suitable for growing wheat, so somen was created by the second son of Asaomi Saai, the chief priest of Ogami Shrine. Legend has it that the owner of the grain sowed seeds and began producing somen using the wheat as a raw material in accordance with the will of the gods. Somen is also effective as a preserved food, and is said to have saved many people suffering from famine at the time. “Rolling stock,” which can be prepared in the event of a disaster while being reasonably enjoyable on a daily basis, is the act of stocking up on slightly larger amounts of the foods you usually eat, consuming the oldest items based on their expiration dates, and then buying more as you use them up. This is a way to always keep a certain amount of food stocked at home. As a brand of somen from Miwa, Nara, the birthplace of somen, it is suitable for home stockpiling and allows for a variety of dishes to be arranged regardless of the season.By promoting a way of eating that includes the “Miwa no Sacred Thread”, a talisman for your pantry, you can live in the modern world. We will contribute to the enlightenment of delicious and careful rolling stock, which is our new food culture.
