History and origins

Around 1950, after the end of the war, a chef who returned from Manchuria (Dalian) founded "Kogetsu," and it is said that he created a Japanese-style version of local cold noodles. Beppu cold noodles are characterized by three key features: chewy noodles made with buckwheat flour, homemade Cabbage kimchi, and beef chashu. They also tend to be made with Japanese-style broth (wafu dashi), and depending on the restaurant, thick noodles or medium-thin noodles are available. They are served in Ramen bowls rather than metal bowls. Along with Morioka cold noodles, they are one of the two major cold noodle styles.
