Hachi Foods Unveils Revamped Curry Udon Sauces

Hachi Foods Co., Ltd. based in Osaka, has announced the launch of two revamped curry udon sauces, "Kansai Flavor Curry Udon No Moto" and "Authentic-Style Curry Udon No Moto." Set to be released on September 1, 2026, these sauces aim to elevate the rich umami of dashi and the authentic flavors of curry to a new level.

Concept Behind the Products

The core idea for these sauces stems from creating the perfect curry udon experience, where umami is the key. While curry udon is a beloved staple menu item, concerns about the messiness and aroma associated with dining out often limit its consumption. At home, it is frequently enjoyed as a creative way to use leftover curry, meaning opportunities to savor an authentic bowl are limited.

Recognizing these challenges, Hachi Foods aims to offer customers an enjoyable at-home experience any time they desire, matched with the unique spicing and robust dashi flavors reminiscent of specialty curry shops. These revitalized products are designed to satisfy household cravings for a gourmet bowl of curry udon.

Renovation Highlights

Hachi Foods targeted a harmonious balance between the rich umami of dashi and the authentic essence of curry. Through advanced flavor sensors, the company meticulously analyzed the optimal combinations of dashi to enhance thickness and richness. The balanced flavors have been refined based on sensory evaluations that tested the ideal mix of dashi and curry.

For the "Kansai Flavor Curry Udon No Moto," the base is crafted from the traditional Kansai combined dashi of bonito and kombu, resulting in a gentle, flavorful broth with outstanding depth. It emphasizes dashi as the star ingredient, yielding a refined and aromatic experience. Meanwhile, the "Authentic-Style Curry Udon No Moto" prioritizes the synergy between dashi and curry, utilizing a unique blend of spices to elevate the dish's depth and spiciness, thereby achieving a rich, flavorful experience.

Development Commitment
