FAQ
Good to know
よくある質問
- How is it different from udon?
- The noodles are rolled flat and thin, so they carry the broth better and go down lighter. Nagoya tops them with dried fish flakes over a smoky dashi.
- What is the classic Nagoya way to have it?
- Standing at the counter on a Nagoya Station shinkansen platform. A bowl slurped in the minutes between trains is a small local ritual.
- Hot or cold?
- Both exist. In summer the cold-broth version called "koro" is the standard, and many shops keep it year-round.
