Nakao's New Summer Delight: Chilled Beef Udon
As the sweltering summer heat approaches, Nakao, a beloved brand known for its rice bowls and Kyoto-style udon, is set to tantalize taste buds with the launch of its latest dish: the Gold Sesame Chilled Beef Udon, available from August 5th at 11:00 AM. This dish promises to be a refreshing answer to summer cravings.
A Culinary Delight
The Gold Sesame Chilled Beef Udon features the restaurant's signature, smooth udon noodles paired with a special, fragrant gold sesame sauce. Gold sesame is renowned for its stronger aroma, richness, and umami compared to regular white sesame, making it a worthy choice for a summer dish. To elevate the flavor, yuzu juice is blended into the sauce, resulting in a complex yet refreshing dipping sauce that's perfect for the hot season.
Complementing the udon are succulent beef slices, mirroring the flavors of Nakao's famous gyu-suki-don. This beef is sweet and savory, expertly balanced to harmonize with the dense taste of the gold sesame sauce, making each bite a profound gourmet experience.
In addition to the chilled beef udon, Nakao will also introduce the Chilled Beef Soba. The soba will be served with Nakao's original special dipping sauce, enhancing the dish with rich notes of katsuobushi and kombu. The delightful match of beef's flavor with the special dipping sauce will surely impress.
Customization Options
Moreover, Nakao allows customers to enhance their meal by adding various toppings such as texture-rich tororo, zesty “taberu rayu”, or fresh eggs, to customize their udon experience further. This adaptability ensures that everyone will find their perfect combination to beat the summer heat.

Additionally, the classic Chilled Beef Udon is offered at 650 yen for the regular and 750 yen for the large size.
