Nakano udon school 中野うどん学校 is located in Kotohira 琴平町, just outside of Takamatsu 高松市. This small town has it all going – shrine, onsen and lots of sanuki udon eateries. Kotohira is mainly known for its shrine, Kompirasan daigongen 金刀比羅宮… in short, it is the shrine with a 785 steps hike (people are so faithful). I will write about this shrine later. For now, it is all about the udon making experience.

The class is in 100% Japanese, but the teacher is well experienced in body language; no problem at all 🙂 The chef goes on to explain how to make the dough and the saline solution.

Translation: Summer - 1 salt : 9 water | Spring Autum - 1 salt : 11 water | Winter - 1 salt : 15 water
The flour proportion is on the left and the saline solution is on the right. Summer – 1 salt : 9 water | Spring Autum – 1 salt : 11 water | Winter – 1 salt : 15 water

After preparing the saline and the right flour proportion, it was time to make the dough. Lots of squeezing by the hand.

Once the dough is formed, the hard work begins. Time to dance on the dough. Watch the video below.

After the 10min of dancing to Sakura Maru (Maruko-chan) and some other manga song. The dough is now ready for roll and cut. **In case you don’t notice, the dad next to me is totally strong, his kid is on his shoulders the whole time!

After all of that, it is now time to eat your own udon. The school prep the sauce for you – dashi, mirin and shoyu. Dip the noodle in raw egg for perfection.

  1. I’ve been following this issue for a while, and your analysis adds a crucial dimension I hadn’t considered before. The historical context you provided helps explain current developments in a way that’s both clear and compelling. This has given me much to think about.

  2. I have realized that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a commission amount is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the commission. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by doing a good agent’s work. In doing this, they shell out their money and also time to execute, as best they will, the responsibilities of an adviser. Those responsibilities include getting known the home by marketing, presenting the home to prospective buyers, making a sense of buyer desperation in order to trigger an offer, scheduling home inspections, controlling qualification inspections with the mortgage lender, supervising maintenance, and facilitating the closing.

  3. We must continue advocating strongly pushing boundaries challenging systemic issues existing perpetuating inequalities hindering progress made thus far striving accomplish greater equity fairness seen society reflected adequately across board henceforth Worker Injury Lawyer
