◆ Uses Ako Ten-shio Salt
The salt used is Ako Ten-shio, made from "sun-dried salt" and "nigari" (bitterness from seawater), which are concentrated from Australian seawater using natural methods. This salt is produced using the "Sashio" method, a salt-making technique passed down in Ako for 350 years, which involves returning the nigari (adding it back). It enhances the ingredients' flavors and deepens their taste.
◆ Twill Weave Method
This method involves uniformly mixing the raw wheat flour and salt water, forming the dough into strips, and then overlapping and stretching them diagonally. By crossing the dough strips diagonally and stretching them under strong pressure, the technique mimics the texture of hand-kneaded udon.
The twill-woven dough is then aged in five stages, resulting in noodles with elasticity, stickiness, and a firm texture.
This twill weave method and aging process are followed by cutting the noodles with a roll cutter.
◆ How to Serve
Zaru Udon / Bukkake Udon (Boiling time 13 minutes)
1. Boil plenty of water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the noodles and separate them with chopsticks.2. They will be cooked in about 13 minutes, but take out 2-3 strands to check the firmness and cook to your desired texture.3. Once the noodles are cooked, turn off the heat, transfer them to a colander, and rinse with running water.4. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and toppings.
* For serving methods other than Zaru or Bukkake Udon, please refer to the times below to cook to your preferred firmness.
Kamaage Udon (Boiling time 8 minutes)
Transfer the cooked udon directly into a bowl with the boiling water (no rinsing needed) and serve with warm dipping sauce. This is a connoisseur's delight, enjoying the delicious sliminess of the noodles.
Kake Udon (Boiling time 11 minutes)
After thoroughly rinsing the cooked udon with water, quickly warm them in hot water, transfer to a bowl, pour hot broth over them, and add your favorite toppings.
＜About Sokensha＞
Sokensha is a food company with a history of over half a century, dedicated to its principles.
When the company was founded in 1968, during a period of rapid economic growth, many food additives such as synthetic fragrances, colorings, and preservatives were developed, and industrially processed foods for mass production were rapidly increasing.
The founder, Takao Nakamura, advocated, "Food and how we eat are inevitably connected to our way of life. Improving our diet is improving our way of life." Feeling a sense of crisis regarding the changing Japanese food environment, he founded Sokensha with the desire to deliver healthier foods.
The company has consistently pursued themes that are now discussed as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for over half a century.
Instead of being swayed by food trends, Sokensha questions, "Is this the best way for the environment and human health, and for society to improve in the long term?" and proposes alternatives in the form of products.
We call this stance a "Counter Vision Company" and will continue to uphold our commitment to making choices that are beneficial to society.
