These are also made of wheat, salt, and water; however, sesame or cottonseed oil is added to somen.
Somen is very thin and the quickest to cook, taking less than five minutes.

 Food Product Design: Applications - October 2002 - The Long and Short of Noodles in Asia
Artisans knead the somen dough, made of wheat flour, salt and water, with their hands and feet.
Because somen, traditionally made in late winter, is best aged through two rainy seasons to attenuate its cottonseed-oil aroma, it’s “ripe” in time for summer.
However, even in the dead of winter, cooks prepare hot somen soups, swimming with vegetables, miso and boiled eggs, called nyumen.

 Steve Banerjee, Bengali Entrepreneur
Somen left India sometime between the late 1960s and early 1970s.
While he later went by his nickname "Steve," he retained his name "Somen," even after immigration; perhaps the coincidence of his given name (in Bengali, pronounced as "show-men") did not escape him.
He spent some time in Canada, before he settled in Playa Del Rey, California, near Los Angeles, in the early 1970s.
