FAQ
Kagawa. Kagawa is often dubbed the udon prefecture, and for good reason: it boasts over 600 udon restaurants within its borders, and it is said that locals consume seven times more udon noodles than the average Japanese person.);})();(function(){window.jsl.dh(5oS8ZvCdOZmf5OUPoKLqsQc__198,
Kake udon (in the Kantō region) or su udon (in Kansai): hot udon in broth topped with thinly sliced green onions, and perhaps a slice of kamaboko. Kamaage udon: served in a communal hot-pot with hot water, and accompanied by a hot dipping sauce of dashi sukiyaki.
Udon (うどん) are thick Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. They are thicker than soba noodles, white and chewier. Udon is widely available at restaurants across Japan and prepared in various hot and cold dishes.
While both dishes brim with flavor, Udon could be considered the healthier of the two noodle type dishes as it tends to have cleaner, simpler toppings and has lower sodium as it doesn't use kansui (the alkaline solution that gives ramen its unique flavor).
Udon noodles are thick and have a chewy texture, providing a large bite. On the other hand, ramen noodles are thin and have a firm yet chewy texture, allowing them to hold up well in the flavorful broth of ramen soup. The difference in noodle size and texture also affects the overall eating experience.
