Komatsu Udon
As you slurp, the thin noodles glide smoothly and comfortably down your throat. The light, clear dashi, extracted from kelp and dried fish flakes, deeply soothes the body—Komatsu Udon is an elegant and gentle udon. The thin noodles, with just the right amount of firmness, pair perfectly with the crisp dashi. Its history is ancient; it is said that in the second year of the Genroku era (1689), Matsuo Basho was presented with dry udon during his journey on the 'Oku no Hosomichi' and noted its 'uniqueness.' Later, as a specialty of the Kaga Clan, it is said to have been gifted even to the Shogunate. It is a refined bowl where the umami of the dashi and the thin noodles entwine seamlessly. This is the taste of Komatsu, loved for over three hundred years.
