About Gomadashi Udon
Gomadashi Udon (ごまだしうどん, Gomadashi udon) features a special seasoning called "Gomadashi," a local specialty from Saiki City, Oita Prefecture.
Gomadashi is a flavorful paste made by mixing the flaked grilled meat of "Eso," a fish caught year-round in the area's coastal waters, with mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and a generous amount of sesame seeds. In Oita, it’s commonly enjoyed by stirring it into udon noodles.
When blended with the noodles, the rich sesame aroma and the savory umami from the fish create a deliciously unique experience. Recognized as one of Japan's Top 100 Local Dishes, Gomadashi Udon is a taste of Oita's culinary heritage.
