Introduced from China in 8th century, udon had been first consumed only by the nobility before spreading among the population in Muromachi period. Its popularity surpassed that of soba during Edo period, thanks to a progress of shoyu production. Udon is composed of flour noodles, dipped into a bowl of shoyu based soup, and consumed with other Japanese ingredients such as tempura, kamaboko (paste of fish flesh), or aburaage (fried tofu), seasoned with red peppers. Today, it is also consumed with curry soup.

What is Japanese Udon made out of?

Japanese udon noodles are made out of wheat flour, salt, and water. Udon noodles are typically white and thick in size (about 4-8 mm wide), but can come in various sizes. The thickness of the noodle varies according to the region it is made in.The Japanese Udon dish can be prepared either hot and cold, with various ingredients. In its simplest form (kake udon), the dish is served in a hot, mild broth (kakejiru). Kakejiru is made of Japanese soup stock (dashi), soy sauce, and rice wine (mirin). The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region. Usually, dark brown broth, made from dark soy sauce (koikuchi shōyu) is used in eastern Japan, and light brown broth, made from light soy sauce (usukuchi shōyu) is used in western Japan.Common toppings include tempura, often prawn, deep-fried tofu pockets (abura age), halfmoon-shaped fish cakes (kamaboko), eggs, and vegetables.
