Gobun Handmade Inaniwa Udon Noodles

Regular price $10.95

Description

These handmade noodles stand out from the pack. With a versatile thinness unlike traditional udon, yet with the same slurpy, chewy texture that’s distinctive of the noodle, Inaniwa udon has been handmade by artisans for over 300 years. The process takes four whole days: The noodles are kneaded on a starched surface before drying, followed by a series of hand kneading sessions before they’re shaped into their final form and left to sit. The resulting noodles are silky smooth with a mild taste, with a lovely kick of salt that makes the flavor come alive.

How to use

These can be enjoyed hot or cold—simply boil for three minutes and run under cold water for 10 seconds to stop the cooking process. Kake udon (simple warm noodles) simply requires the boiled udon and a simple sauce: boil water and mentsuyu together in a pan, using two parts water to one part mentsuyu. Pour the liquid into a bowl, plop in the noodles and garnish with scallions and shichimi pepper. We also love them in a simple stir fry or tossed with peanut sauce and sesame.
