Catching noodles in kibune

When it's hot in Kyoto, one of the very best solutions is to take the tiny train up to Kibune in the mountains north of Kyoto, where there are restaurants on platforms over the river. One restaurant specializes in somen, delicate white noodles, served cold, which you need to catch with your chopsticks as they whiz down a bamboo shoot. entertaining, refreshing and delicious.
