Kitsune Udon
The sweet simmered fried tofu soaks up the flavorful kelp dashi. Its gentle taste warms you to the core. The shop believed to be the birthplace of Kitsune Udon is "Matsubaya" in Semba (now Usami-tei Matsubaya). It is said to have started around 1893, when the first owner served sweet fried tofu alongside udon, and customers began eating it on top of plain udon noodles. The founder had trained at a sushi restaurant, and it is said that the techniques for frying inari sushi live on here. Since fried tofu is a favorite of foxes and Inari is the deity of commerce, the auspiciousness—fitting for the merchant city of Osaka—also helped its reputation grow. With dashi made from true kombu and chewy noodles, this is the udon most loved by the people of Osaka.
