Himi is best known within Toyama Prefecture for Himi udon, a traditional wheat noodle with a firm, smooth texture. The city runs along Toyama Bay, whose waters are closely associated with Himi-buri, yellowtail landed in winter and central to local cooking. Across the bay, the Tateyama Mountain Range provides the alpine backdrop for this part of the coast. Fishing and noodle-making have long shaped Himi’s local identity, setting it apart on Toyama Prefecture’s northern shore.
