Kurume specialty, Chikugo Udon

The udon you will be making, Chikugo Udon. Have you heard of it? Chikugo Udon is considered one of the top three B-grade foods in Kurume. It features plump, chewy, and soft noodles and a soft broth made from kelp, bonito, iriko, and flying fish.

The Chikugo region has fertile land along the river basin, so it has plenty of water and is a suitable environment for growing wheat, the raw material for udon. For this reason, the culture of eating udon every day has been centered around farmers since ancient times. The soft noodles that absorb the soup easily are good for children and the elderly, making udon loved by everyone.
