Sanuki Udon is a thick, chewy wheat noodle originating from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan. It is much thicker and springier than pasta, and unlike ramyeon, it is not deep-fried — it comes as a fresh or frozen cooked noodle. This product follows the traditional Sanuki Udon style but is produced by Korean food manufacturer Our Home. While the satisfying chew is comparable to thick European pasta such as pappardelle, the ingredient list is far simpler — made with just wheat flour and salt.

Yes, this product is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The ingredients consist solely of wheat flour, modified starch, salt, and gluten — no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever. Please note, however, that while the noodles themselves are vegan, the final dish may not be, depending on the broth base or toppings used (e.g. fish stock, eggs). Always check the additional ingredients you use when cooking.

This product contains gluten (WHEAT / GLUTEN), which is a major allergen required to be declared under EU food labelling regulations (Regulation 1169/2011, Annex II). If you have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten (e.g. coeliac disease, wheat allergy), do not consume this product. This product is not gluten-free.

No thawing is needed — cook them straight from frozen. There are two common methods: ① Boiling: Bring a generous amount of water to a full boil, add the frozen noodles directly, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are fully separated. Drain and serve with your chosen broth or sauce. ② Microwave: Open the packet, place the noodles in a microwave-safe container with a small amount of water, and heat for 2–3 minutes (adjust according to your appliance). If the noodles are stuck together, briefly submerge them in hot water to separate easily.

This is a frozen product and must be stored at −18 °C or below at all times. Place it in the freezer immediately after purchase. Before opening, it can be stored until the best-before date shown on the packaging. After opening, transfer any remaining noodles to an airtight container or resealable bag and keep frozen, using them as soon as possible. Do not refreeze once thawed.
