[God’s Thread] The Art of Somen: 300 Years of Japanese Handmade Perfection

Step into the mesmerizing world of Saruwatari Seimenjo (Yuki no Ito Somen), located in Nankan‑machi, Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture. For over 300 years, this family-run noodle workshop has preserved the ancient art of handmade somen production—so meticulously crafted that it was once presented as a tribute to the Tokugawa shogunate.

In this video, we shadow the legendary master craftsman, whose laser‑like focus and almost supernatural technique—what we call “God’s Thread”—bring each delicate noodle to life with breathtaking precision.
