Introduction
An exquisite bowl of handmade udon featuring a rich, luxurious broth made from homemade dried sardines, carefully crafted over 10 days from fresh small sardines.
Step 1
【Making Niboshi】 Bring water and salt (approx. 35g salt per 1L water) to a boil in a pot, then reduce to low heat.
Step 2
Gently rinse fresh sardines in ice water, then place them into the low-heat salt water and boil gently for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Gently scoop out the boiled sardines with a mesh strainer, spread them on a colander, and sun-dry for 10 days.
Step 4
【Extracting Stock】 Soak the completed homemade niboshi in 500ml of water overnight.
Step 5
Transfer the niboshi and water used for soaking into a pot and place on heat. Bring to a boil, and do not remove the scum; cook as is to extract the stock.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ When boiling the sardines, use low heat and handle them gently as the flesh breaks easily.
💡 Sun-drying should be done in a well-ventilated area; dry thoroughly until completely dehydrated and light.
✨ Adding a small amount of olive oil to the soup base provides a Western-style richness and depth.
