Bukkake Udon

Bukkake udon, said to have originated in Kurashiki, is udon eaten by pouring a bold concentrated broth directly over the boiled noodles and enjoying it with condiments. It is said to have been created so that busy dockworkers could eat quickly, and today it is considered the origin of a style that has spread nationwide.

Highlights

Enjoying the Seasons

Chilled bukkake is perfect for summer, while a warm version with hot broth is popular in the cold season. You can enjoy the taste of Kurashiki all year round.

A Quick Tip

Try it plain first, then mix in the condiments to enjoy how the flavor changes. The broth is so rich you will want to drink every drop.
