Shogun Noodles/天下統一の麺/三大大名的麵

I saw these noodles in a supermarket a little while back.  It's a Japanese brand, actually.  They have three kinds of noodles: Nobunaga Somen, Hideyoshi Udon, and Ieyasu Soba.  These are the three major warlords who unified Japan at the end of the 16th century.  The last of them, Ieyasu, set up a Shogunate government that would last for another 250 years.
This has nothing to do with Tainan, but I thought the idea was kind of cute.

この間、スーパーでこの麺を見掛けた。台南と全く関係ないけど、テーマが面白いと思って写真を撮ってきた。

我在臺南的超市看到這三種麵。是日本的牌子,三種的名字,信長,秀吉,家康,是十六世紀下半統治全日本的三個「大名」(將軍)。這些麵完全跟臺南沒有關係,可是我覺得這個概念很有趣。
