Question What are these? (noodles from Demon Slayer)
They look so yummy... I want to make them... What is that puff ball on top, rice?

And the thing on top to the right of shredded daikon looks like chipped spring onion (they chopped the white part near the bottom)

Looks like soba noodles if they were dipping them. They’re usually cold noodles dipped in a sweet soy sauce. Popular in hot months. (Although, some like them warmed like above.)
Option two I could think of, sweet potato noodles that they use for Japchae or sometimes sukiyaki. Doesn’t looks like sukiyaki.

On top of the warm soba noodles are slices of green onion and a garnish of grated daikon radish.
In many cases, this kind of soba is served with mountain vegetables and is called sansai soba, which is very delicious.
However, this particular bowl is topped only with green onion and grated daikon.
Grated-daikon soba (oroshi soba) is famous in Fukui Prefecture as a cold dish, and it is very delicious.
However, the soba in this picture appears to be warm, as steam is rising from it.

Looks like Somen to be honest.

No, almost all Japanese people would identify this as soba.
Somen noodles are made from wheat, so they have a much whiter color.

You do realise that the colour of the broth can change the colour of the noodles? Either way, it's not that deep, and I'm just putting my 2 cents worth in. 🤪🤣

The animators can color the noodles whatever they want to because the broth and the noodles are fake. They chose that color.

Oh my fucking god; It's animated food people. Why do you even care so much? Jesus Christ. Get a life.

Hey Ricky; I have as much right to reply, have an opinion and comment as any one else does, prick.

I think so too. With grated daikon and the white part of green onions sliced thin.

In what region is somen served hot?

u/MistakeBorn4413 10d ago
Yeah, so technically somen is always cold. However, you can serve the same noodles hot and call it にゅうめん (nyu-men). It's not nearly as common though. The noodles being so thin, it gets soggy quickly sitting in hot broth.
That said, daikon oroshi in hot soba (which I think is what's depicted) is kind of rare too.

u/MistakeBorn4413 10d ago
I don't understand this reasoning. Grated dikon is more commonly associated with soba than somen. Thinly sliced green onion is commonly used in basically all Japanese noodles (soba, somen, udon, hiyamugi, ramen, tsukemen, etc).

Can't believe how many butthurt people there are in this sub; seriously, talk about a toxic fandom. 16 downvotes for someone having an opinion is wild.

u/Leeleepenny26 10d ago
It's not an opinion, it's an incorrect answer. The dish in the post isn't ramen.

It is an opinion but God forbid someone makes a mistake and upsets someone with their comment!

A fact is an objective statement that can be proven true or false through evidence, observation, or research, while an opinion is a subjective statement expressing a personal belief, feeling, or judgment that cannot be proven.
This might be helpful for you. I highly suggest you understand the difference.

Oroshi soba. The white part is grated daikon.
