USUYA Hand-Made Udon - Nanban Duck is a frozen Sanuki-style hand-made udon product produced by "Usuya" (うす家), a long-established udon manufacturer located on Shodoshima Island, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The official name of this product is "讃岐小豆島鴨南蛮手延うどん" (Sanuki Shodoshima Kamo Nanban Hand-Stretched Udon).

• "Tebari" (Hand-Stretched) Method: These noodles are made using a traditional hand-stretching technique that has been passed down on Shodoshima Island for about 400 years since the Keicho era (Edo period). The dough is aged for approximately two days and repeatedly stretched, giving the noodles a firm, chewy texture and a uniquely smooth mouthfeel.

• Carefully Brewed Soup Stock: The soup base uses soy sauce brewed locally on Shodoshima Island, blended with a rich dashi (stock) made from various ingredients such as bonito flakes, dried sardines, and kombu (kelp), resulting in a deep, mellow flavor.

• Generous Toppings: It comes with tender, juicy "Aigamo" (duck meat), Japanese leeks (green onions), and "Yuba" (tofu skin), which further enhance the flavor and depth of the broth.

• Cooking Method: Very convenient—no need to thaw. Simply place the entire frozen bag directly into a pot of boiling water and heat for about 8 minutes.

• Main Ingredients:

  • Noodles: Wheat flour (Japanese), salt, edible vegetable oil (sesame oil).

  • Soup: Soy sauce (naturally brewed), sugar, mixed dried bonito flakes, salt, bonito extract, mirin (sweet rice wine), kombu, etc.

  • Toppings: Duck meat (origin: China), Japanese leek, yuba (tofu skin).

"Kamo Nanban" is a classic Japanese hot noodle dish. It typically consists of hot udon topped with a broth made from duck meat and Japanese leeks (especially large green onions or bunching onions). The term "Nanban" in the name is said to originate from a period in the 19th century when Japan resumed eating meat, and foods like duck were perceived as being influenced by foreigners (the "Southern Barbarians" / Nanban trade).

Usuya's product presents this classic dish in a convenient, delicious frozen format for consumers.
