Kagawa Prefecture is known for its sanuki udon, a dish of chewy noodles served with a flavorful broth or dipping sauce made from dried sardines. These Green Tea Udon Noodles also uniquely showcase Kagawa’s Takase tea. Takase tea makes up a mere 0.2% of the tea produced in Japan and is typically only enjoyed by the locals. 

Ishimaru Seimen is shining the spotlight on this tea by incorporating it into their green tea udon noodles. Using technology unique to the company they knead the tea directly into the dough, imparting a light but refreshing flavor and aroma as well as a beautiful deep green color. Each noodle is also knife cut, preserving the pleasantly chewy texture. 

One of Ishimaru Seimen’s founding beliefs is love and pride in one’s hometown. Since 1904, the company has been working hard to produce the best-tasting noodles using traditional skills. Today it has built upon these traditional techniques by tactfully adding modern state-of-the-art equipment to their process. They believe that using high-quality raw materials is key to producing the best noodles and strive to support local wheat cultivation through their flour milling business. They also host factory tours and have opened a Sanuki Udon Museum to share udon culture with domestic and foreign tourists alike.

Suggested uses: Cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 mins and drain. For cold noodles, rinse in cold water and chill with ice before serving. We recommend eating this udon cold to fully enjoy its vibrant color and mochi mochi (chewy) texture. Try dipping the noodles in mentsuyu (noodle broth and sauce) for added flavor.
