Kishimen in Nagoya
Kishimen is Nagoya's ribbon noodle: flat, wide and thin, in a soy-dashi broth under a heap of bonito flakes.
Soupmap lists 9 places in Nagoya, Aichi whose names point to Kishimen. Most are in Atsuta and Naka.
Kishimen are wheat noodles rolled flat and cut into wide, thin ribbons. Because they're so thin they cook quickly and have a smooth, slippery texture, different from the chewy bite of Sanuki udon. In Nagoya they're usually served hot in a soy-and-dashi broth and topped with a generous pile of katsuobushi (bonito flakes) that wave in the steam, plus greens and often fried tofu or a fish cake. In summer, cold kishimen with a dipping sauce is common too.
The most famous place to eat them is perhaps the least romantic: the standing noodle counters on the platforms of Nagoya Station, where travellers grab a bowl between trains. Kishimen also appears on the menus of udon and soba shops across the city, so this guide is short; see Udon in Nagoya for the wider list. Kishimen sometimes appears in the popular argument over Japan's three great udon. Read Kishimen: Nagoya's ribbon noodle and Japan's three great udon, and the fight for third place.

About this guide
Built from Soupmap's catalog: our own selections plus open-data listings from Overture Maps and OpenStreetMap contributors. Open-data listings are reported locations, not independently checked; menus, prices, hours and current trading status are not verified. Styles come from shop names, so a place can serve more than its name says, or less.
Places are grouped by the municipality in their record. English municipality names come from official kana readings (localgovjp, CC0). Generated romanizations of shop names are approximate; the Japanese name is kept on every card. Sources and credits.
