Sweet Potato Digging






My Junior Girl Scout Troop went Sweet Potato Digging and met with their Sister Troop to have Soumen.. The Japanese Troop were great hostesses meeting us at the train station, walking us to the location and preparing lunch for us. They prepared Soumen which to me is cold ramen but they had this piece of hollowed out cut in half bamboo on racks at an angle and then a water hosed attached to the upmost part so water was running down through the bamboo.


So what did we do? Well they took the cooked noodles we grabbed our chopsticks and sent the noodles down the river of water in the bamboo and we tried to pull our noodles for our lunch from this little bamboo river.. The girls really enjoyed it.
