Classic Kake Udon
The ultimate comfort bowl. Boil your noodles, rinse, then serve in hot dashi broth with a splash of soy sauce and mirin. Top with green onions, nori, and a few slices of kamaboko (fish cake). Warm, clean, and soothing — the heart of Japanese home cooking.
Kake udon is a noodle soup that pairs fresh, chewy udon noodles with a subtle yet satisfying dashi broth. Diners associate this comforting dish with the Kanto region of Japan, which includes Tokyo and the surrounding region. Kake udon involves cooking the noodles, boiling them in broth, and finishing the dish with toppings like shredded spring onions.
