Kitsune udon

Soft Osaka udon in a clear, deeply savoury kombu dashi, crowned with sweet simmered fried tofu.

Before you make the detour

Imai’s own kitsune udon description pairs udon with sweetened fried tofu and dashi made with kombu, mackerel flakes and urume fish flakes. A tofu topping does not make this fish-based dish vegetarian.
