Cool CURRY Soup Udon (冷しカレーうどん)

Most of Japanese love curry. We are misled into thinking that curry is japanese traditional food. hhh. Because we from our childhood eat not only curry rice but curry sandwich (we called curry pan like russian piroshki),  omelette rice with curry source, fried rice tasted curry and noodle with curry soup.

Thought, I have eaten "hot" curry noodle in the past.

Today I eat, surprised, cool curry soup Udon at udon corner in Kinshicho sta., Tokyo.

Taste is ummmm, pretty good. Maybe hot is better...It's my opinion, please check it, and tell me what do you think.

Tarai Udon （たらいうどん）

This is Tarai Udon, so tarai means hundy type washtab.

legend has it that two carpenters in building site near mountain valley,

want to eat Udon. However they had no bouls for eating udon.

One of them picked out the washtab, and they used it.

Tarai Udon is special product of Tokushima pref. here is my country.

I have eaten Tarai udon every weeks.

Sanuki UDON (讃岐うどん)

Sanuki Udon is the famous in Japan.

Sanuki is old name of Kagawa pref in Shikoku.

My country is Tokushima pref next to Kagawa.

From my childhood, I have eaten Sanuki Udon in my home.

Cooking point of Sanuki Udon is chewy "al dente", we called "koshi" means human's loin.

Jomon UDON (縄文うどん)

Today, I went to Aomori city. I found new style udon!!!

It's Jomon UDON, Jomon is the period B.C. 8000 to B.C. 300. 

In Aomori city there is the Sannai-maruyama archaeological site.

Of course, in that time, man hadn't eat UDON (they can't make a common wheat may be...)

This noodle is made by wheat and fish and club, so sea food taste! I'm lovin'in.
