      Thanks for being pedantic but I clearly meant putting prepared food in water and not food where water is an ingredient.

        That’s how these noodles are prepared, they’re run through cold water and served cold. The novelty here is it flows through a trough to you, instead of chilled out of sight and served.

            Have you never tried cold noodles? One of my favorite dishes to make is to cook up some spaghetti, rinse it under cold water, and pour Italian dressing over top of it. It’s refreshing and filling.

              Nope. For some reason idea of food served cold is utterly unappealing to me.

                    Because there’s tons of hella tasty cold food out there. Just seems odd (not to mention, impractical in a lot of cases) to refuse to consume cold (by which I mean “not heated”) food. Like, do they also refuse to touch sandwiches? Salads? Crackers? Or for Indian fare (as they said they were in India): chutneys, chaat, koshimbir, dahi puri/papti/bhalla, or dhokla, just to name a handful?

            You’ve clearly never had good soba noodles, because they’re fucking delicious.

              I haven’t. All Japanese restaurants where are I live are prohibitively expensive. Not all of us live in US.

                    Ah. I haven’t been there myself, and am actually mildly surprised to learn that it’s so difficult to find reasonably priced Japanese food there. Thank you for sharing!

            For all everyone is defending them yes I’m sure many people like them. That said, I accidentally ordered cold udon in Japan and it was unpleasant. I like cold foods of some sorts, but cold udon was something I intend not to have in the future if I can
