Discover the Refreshing Taste of Sudachi Oroshi Udon at Nakau

As the temperature rises, Nakau, the renowned Japanese restaurant group known for its delicious rice bowls and udon, brings a seasonal favorite back to the menu. Starting July 8, customers can indulge in Nakau's summer creation, the Sudachi Oroshi Udon. This dish brilliantly combines the brightness of fresh sudachi, a citrus fruit from Tokushima Prefecture, with the refreshing crunch of grated daikon radish.

The Sudachi Oroshi Udon features a whole sudachi fruit, which, when squeezed over the silky noodles, enhances the meal with a delightful citrus aroma. The udon is then complemented with a special soy sauce blend that perfectly marries the subtle acidity of the sudachi. Diners can enjoy the invigorating and light characteristics of this dish, making it a perfect choice for a hot summer day.

In addition to the classic udon offering, Nakau will also introduce a variation titled Katsuobushi Okura Sudachi Oroshi Udon. This version includes toppings of flavorful katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and fresh okra. The umami kick from the katsuobushi combined with the firm texture of okra creates an irresistible taste that perfectly complements the zesty sudachi flavor.

For those who prefer soba, Nakau hasn’t left you behind. They are also rolling out the Sudachi Oroshi Soba and Katsuobushi Okura Sudachi Oroshi Soba, featuring the same refreshing ingredients infused with a smooth-textured 2:8 buckwheat noodle. The soba offers a unique taste experience, allowing diners to mix up their choices while still enjoying the fresh citrus and daikon combination.
