This is Korean style, and is called reimen, meaning cool noodle usually topped with egg, roast pork, bean sprouts, tomato, and cucumber. The soup taste sour (of vinegar) and sweet.

This is somen, vermicelli noodle made of kneaded wheat flour, stretched into thin strips using vegetable oil. Price is usually around 1,000 yen.
