Features of Udon Noodles
Authentic Udon Noodles for Professional Kitchens
Yamachan Ramen offers authentic Japanese udon noodles, crafted for chefs and restaurants across North America. Our selection includes thick, chewy noodles for hearty dishes and silky, delicate noodles for refined flavors, ensuring the perfect match for traditional and modern udon recipes.
We also offer two distinct udon styles, Sanuki Udon and Inaniwa Udon, each offering unique characteristics to meet diverse culinary needs.
Sanuki Udon – Firm, Chewy, and Satisfying
One of Japan’s most popular udon varieties, Sanuki Udon originates from Kagawa Prefecture. Known for its firm, chewy texture and thick, square-cut noodles, it holds up well in both hot and cold dishes.
Key Characteristics:
✅ Firm and chewy texture, achieved through a specialized kneading and aging process.
✅ Thick, square-cut noodles that hold broth and sauces well.
✅ Ideal for hearty udon dishes like Kake Udon, Bukkake Udon, and Kamaage Udon.
With its rich texture and versatility, Sanuki Udon is a staple in both casual and high-end Japanese cuisine.
Inaniwa Udon – Smooth, Delicate, and Elegant
Inaniwa Udon, from Akita Prefecture, is renowned for its thin, smooth, and hand-stretched noodles. Unlike Sanuki Udon, this variety has a silky texture that pairs beautifully with light broths and delicate flavors.
Key Characteristics:
✅ Thin, silky, and slightly chewy, delivering a refined mouthfeel.
✅ Best enjoyed in delicate dishes such as cold Zaru Udon, warm Nyumen (hot udon in dashi broth), and seasonal specialties.
Inaniwa Udon’s premium quality and delicate nature make it a top choice for fine Japanese cuisine.
