Have you ever experienced eating authentic handmade Japanese noodles? The answer to this question is almost always "no", as most Japanese udon noodle manufacturers have automated the process.

Inaniwa, however, is different. Their noodles are not mass-produced, they're completely handmade by traditionally-trained udon noodle craftsmen. These noodles are authentically handmade over four days, in a very inefficient yet traditional process, that makes them truly one of a kind.

Utilizing 100% domestic Japanese wheat flour, these craftsmen make a high-hydration dough (60% water!) which is rested for over 43 hours so that the flour can absorb all of that moisture. The dough is then dried for a day, before being hand-stretched and cut.

This is the kind of unique, traditional product that is difficult to find in Japan, and almost impossible to find outside of Japan. Experience truly authentic udon with Inaniwa's high-hydration handmade noodles. 

Instructions

Put the noodles in a pot of boiling water, when they freely float around the top–after about 3.5 minutes–they should be cooked.

Enjoy hot or cold, in soup or with a dipping sauce.
