So here’s what the folks at Japan Crate had to say about this variety -“We have featured many udon in the past but this one is a bit different! The noodles are splashed with a sauce after being cooked instead of served in a warm broth. Get a jump-start to spring with this udon and enjoy its unique soup base infused with a strong taste of bonito (tuna) and kelp (seaweed).”
Alright – let’s give it a try!
