This is Shinkamigoto!

Right in the center of the Goto Islands lies Shinkamigoto.
The town, which is made up of Nakadori and Wakamatsu islands as well as their surrounding islands, is home to a church aspiring for World Heritage site registration and areas frequented by Sakamoto Ryoma.
It’s a place where precious memories of the past live on. Looking back on the island’s history, you can see that Goto udon is also a part of its heritage—passed on from ancient times to the present day. Experience food, history, and Kamigoto culture!

Hamasaki Noodles

Handmade Goto udon are considered to be one of Japan’s top three kinds of udon. Noodle culture arrived in Goto during the time of Japanese missions to Tang China, when the area flourished as a mid-way point between China and mainland Japan. Today, noodles are now a local specialty in Shinkamigoto, and the area is full of restaurants where you can enjoy them. One such restaurant is Hamasaki Noodles, which is under the direct management of noodle maker Hamasaki Seimen. The noodles are cooked via the “jigoku-daki” (or “hell boiling”) method in a big pot of water, and they go down smoothly, leaving you satisfied. Enjoy them with flying fish broth or egg for a spice of variety!
