「鍋焼きうどん」とは

“Nabeyaki Udon” (鍋焼きうどん) is a traditional Japanese hot noodle dish typically served in an individual clay pot (called nabe). The dish consists of thick udon noodles cooked in a savory broth, usually made from dashi (a soup stock of dried fish and kelp), soy sauce, and mirin. It is often garnished with various toppings such as tempura (fried shrimp or vegetables), kamaboko (fish cake), eggs, mushrooms, green onions, and leafy greens like spinach. The key feature is that it’s served piping hot, straight from the stove, with all ingredients cooked together in the pot, giving the dish its signature rich and comforting flavor.

Nabeyaki Udon is particularly popular during colder months due to its warming nature and the hearty, filling broth. The clay pot helps retain heat, allowing the dish to stay warm throughout the meal. This dish is a comforting blend of textures and flavors, with the soft noodles, the crispy tempura, and the umami-rich broth being highlights.

In Japan, it’s a well-loved winter comfort food, and variations may differ slightly by region or personal preference.
