Chinese Restaurant Kobe Kochuten (located in Chuo-ku, Kobe) will begin offering 'Hiyashi Tan Tan Men' from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, as the second item in its summer-limited cold noodle series.
As the sun grows stronger each day and the craving for cold noodles sets in, this dish has been prepared for the height of summer, offering a pleasant kick and rich flavor within a cool texture.
These chilled noodles are coated in a rich sesame sauce, providing a satisfying and smooth mouthfeel.
■ Commitment to Ingredients and Preparation
The special sauce, which makes the most of the rich flavor of white sesame paste and the depth of white miso, is combined with house-made chili oil to create a complex taste even when served cold.
After boiling, the noodles are quickly chilled in ice water to achieve a firm, chewy texture and a refreshing sensation. The sauce clings well to the firm noodles, and breaking the onsen egg (soft-boiled egg) adds a milder, creamier dimension to the flavor.
With a focus on the balance of coldness, richness, and spiciness, this bowl is designed to be enjoyable even during the hot summer months when appetites tend to wane.
■ Flavor Profile
The core of the flavor is the richness of white sesame paste and the umami of white miso. By layering the spiciness and aroma of house-made chili oil, the dish achieves a mildly stimulating yet harmonious overall taste.
The spiciness is kept to a mild 'piri-kara' (slightly spicy) level, characterized by a clean, refreshing aftertaste. It offers both the lightness unique to cold noodles and the satisfying heartiness of a classic dan dan noodle dish.
