With nearly 400 years of history, Inaniwa Udon has been praised for hundreds of years by Japanese gourmands for its smooth and silky texture. Passed down by generations, Inaniwa Udon is considered one of ‘Three Great’ or ‘Three Famous’ udon recipes in Japan, sometimes being referred to a culinary masterpiece of Japan.
Udon is typically produced in 3 days, however they believe that adding one day to the process maxims the noodles flavour and texture. Inaniwa Udon is made entirely by hand without the use of machines. Taking extra time to mature the noodles creates a smooth and silky texture which produces a pleasant “nodogoshi” (sensation when swallowing). The nodogoshi of Inaniwa Udon is highly regarded among Japanese gourmands.
What makes Inaniwa udon noodles exception is the amount of tubular bubbles contained in the dried noodles. This is the direct result of their kneading technique. Because of the bubbles, the taste of the noodles Inaniwa Udon has a smoother texture while retaining its consistency.
