In this episode, I travel to Sakurai City in Nara to uncover the ancient roots of Miwa sōmen, learn the legend behind its creation, and experience the powerful atmosphere of Ōmiwa Shrine. This is a story about food, history, and the surprising depth behind everyday traditions. もしシンプルな麺に、日本最古の神社とつながるストーリーがあったら…？  今回は奈良の桜井市へ行って、三輪そうめんのルーツやその伝説、そして大神神社のすごいパワーを実際に感じてきました。  食べ物の話なのに、日常の中にある“深み”が見えてくる、そんなエピソードです。<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sojapanese">Support the show</a>https://linktr.ee/Sojapanese
