help Curry Udon FAQ

What are the main ingredients in Curry Udon?

Curry Udon is a Japanese noodle soup that combines thick, chewy wheat udon noodles with a broth made from Japanese curry roux and dashi stock. It is typically garnished with sliced onions, sliced pork or chicken, and sometimes a soft-boiled egg.

How does Curry Udon differ from standard Japanese Curry Rice?

While it uses a similar curry base, Curry Udon utilizes extra dashi stock to thin out the thick curry roux, creating a soupier consistency suitable for noodles. The dashi also adds a specific umami flavor that standard curry rice lacks.

Where did Curry Udon originate?

The dish is believed to have been invented in the early 1900s at a Tokyo udon shop called Sabatani. The owners created it as a cheap, filling meal that uniquely combined Western-influenced Japanese curry with traditional udon noodles.

What is the best way to eat leftover Curry Udon broth?

It is a very common Japanese custom to order a side of hot white rice to dump into the leftover broth once the noodles are gone. This ensures the savory, spicy curry soup is completely enjoyed without waste.
