LOL just from seeing the “Ehhhhh” I knew exactly what you’re referring to 🤣
I think it’s a combination of the ‘we use this trough for everyone all day’ and the fact that the name is really similar to ‘semen,’ but this sounds highly unappealing.
It’s probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn’t wash after coming back from the toilet.
Kind of like buffets.

Tell me you’ve never spent long in Japan without telling me you’ve never spent long in Japan. We had a problem during corona where people would remove their masks to sneeze or cough. We have tons of gross people over here.
You just made it seem much more appealing.
The noodles just slide down your throat.
It is unappealing. I would not eat at a place like that. Some do have separate chopsticks for catching the somen (long o, so probably sounds less like semen than you might think), but it’s still not great. I have seen it at family events as well.
apparently the noodles are served cold and that sounds awful as well
Why? Cold noodles are nice and refreshing. Pasta salad (cold noodles) is a thing all over the place.
yeah and I hate it
Noodle run, gotta catch 'em all

Ewww, imagine how many people have breathed the air you’re breathing right now.
