Hotto Motto's New Refreshing Mini Cold Wakame Udon for Summer

Discover Hotto Motto's Summer Delight: Mini Cold Wakame Udon

As the summer heat rolls in, Hotto Motto introduces a perfect refreshing side option for those seeking a light meal: the Mini Cold Wakame Udon. Launched on June 3, 2025, this dish brings the taste of Japan to your plate, showcasing the unique qualities of locally sourced ingredients.

What Makes Mini Cold Wakame Udon Special?

The star of this dish is the “Sanuki Udon” noodles made from 100% Japanese wheat. Known for their exceptional chewiness, these noodles offer a delightful texture that glides effortlessly down your throat, providing a satisfying mouthfeel. Designed specifically to hold up well, they maintain their structure without becoming soggy, making them an ideal choice for a chilled dish.

Topped off with fresh wakame seaweed and crispy tempura bits, the udon is served with a special cold dipping broth. This broth is crafted from a rich combination of bonito, niboshi (dried sardines), kombu (kelp), and a hint of ginger – bringing forth a refreshing umami experience that tantalizes your taste buds on hot summer days.

Accompanying Side Dishes to Elevate Your Meal

Alongside the Mini Cold Wakame Udon, Hotto Motto has also introduced three delightful cold side dishes perfect for complementing your bento. These ready-to-eat options are designed to bring convenience to your dining experience, especially for those busy days:

1. Potato Salad (with Tuna & Macaroni) - A twist on the classic, this creamy potato salad combines the richness of tuna and macaroni, bringing an adult flavor enhanced with a dash of black pepper. It's the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

2. Six-Ingredient Hijiki Nimono - This traditional Japanese dish features hijiki seaweed stewed with six different ingredients: carrots, burdock root, konnyaku, lotus root, and tofu. Each element is carefully simmered to absorb the savory umami flavors of bonito, creating a harmonious blend that pairs beautifully with rice.

3. Refreshing Yuzu Daikon - A pleasantly tangy daikon radish dish, made zesty with sweet vinegar and finished off with yuzu rind, offering a refreshing burst of flavor. Perfect as a side to fried foods or on its own, the aromatic essence of yuzu will brighten your meal.
