An old Saga dish with rustic origins. With plenty of barley in the region, flour-based foods were eaten in lieu of rice at times. This soup consists of flour dumplings (noodles), green onions, and whale (the only source of protein back in time). The dumplings or noodles vary in size and shape according to region, with differing names too. The dish can be whipped up quickly for sudden visitors, served at a dinner party, or even serves especially at harvest time like the farmers did.
