Komatsu udon introduction
Komatsu udon, which is said to have been eaten by the haisheng Matsuo Basho, is a specialty of Komatsu that has a history of over 300 years since it was delivered to the Kaga Domain during the Edo period and is also said to have been sent to shoguns and daimyo families as a treasured item of the Kaga Domain. The characteristics of Komatsu udon are that the noodles, which are thin and have just the right amount of chewiness, the light-flavored soup stock that uses underground water from Mt. Hakusan, the sacred mountain, and the thin noodles have a good texture and are chewy and smooth, and go great with homemade dashi.
