At its core is udon noodles with a soft, chewy structure that perfectly absorbs the aromas of sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Shiitake and chanterelles add deep, earthy notes to the dish while wheat sprouts provide a light freshness. Sesame oil and soy sauce create a rich, slightly sweet flavor palette.
