Hikari Udon 히카리우동

Thick, springy udon holds its bounce through every chew, in a broth with savory depth and a light finish. The yagalchi udon set builds a spicy noodle soup into a tray with inari sushi, rice in sweet tofu pockets, and shrimp tempura that stays crisp if it does not sit in the broth too long. The inari sticks to the basics, just seasoned tofu skin and rice. Zaru udon, chilled noodles for dipping, shows off the texture more directly than a hot bowl. Buckwheat soba differs from the wheat udon in aroma and thickness, and soy-sauce egg rice, rice mixed with egg and soy seasoning, gives a soft grain dish beside the noodles. The udon portion in the set runs smaller than a full bowl, so big appetites may want an extra side.
