Enjoy the great balance between chewy udon noodles, rich dashi soup, and sweet fried tofu to experience the standard type of udon in Eastern Japan.

Its Eastern Japanese-style soup, which is a blend of bonito flakes and kombu seaweed, pairs well with udon noodles. You can enjoy this soup further by soaking the fried tofu to let it absorb the soup to make it taste richer.

Trivia: this type of udon noodle is called kitsune udon; kitsune literally means "fox". In traditional Japanese folklore, it is said that the fox brings prosperity to businesses, and its favorite food is abura-age (fried-tofu). From this oral tradition, it became common in Japan for udon and soba with abura-age to include the term "kitsune" as an adjective.

Instructions

Peel off the lid just to the point where the arrow and dotted line are drawn (i.e. almost the halfway point), then remove the packet of powdered soup from the cup.

Open the soup packet and add the powder to the cup. Pour hot water until the water level reaches the line on the inner side of the cup.

After pouring, close the lid, and wait for 5 minutes.

Remove the lid, then stir well. After mixing these ingredients, the udon is ready to eat.
