【History of Shiraishi Onmon】
This is a story from 400 years ago. There was a man named Ajimon who lived under Shiroishi Castle. His father, who lay in bed without eating for several days because of a stomach ailment, learned from a traveling monk how to make noodles without a drop of oil.
Because the noodles are made only from wheat flour and salt water, which is easy to digest and good for the body, his father's condition improved quickly.
Katakura Kojuro, the lord of Shiroishi Castle, praised this story of filial piety as "warm and considerate", and named this noodle "Onmon" as a reward for this local product.
After that, the method of making noodles spread widely, and the method of making noodles was established using the clear water and clean air flowing under the castle, and it was passed down as a famous product.
