Hiyashi chūka

Hiyashi chūka is a Chinese-style Japanese dish consisting of chilled Chinese-style alkaline wheat noodles (中華麺, chūkamen), with various toppings. It is usually served in the summer. It is also called reimen in Kansai region and hiyashi rāmen in Hokkaido. Toppings are usually colorful cold ingredients and a tare sauce. The dish was invented in 1937 by the Chinese restaurant Ryutei in Sendai as an adaptation of the Shanghainese dish liangbanmian. The dish was originally sold in Japan under the borrowed Chinese name ryanbanmyen (リャンバンミェン). The name "hiyashi chuka" was established in the late 1950s.
