Yes, I know what it means. It's from the verb 'kakeru', which means 'to pour'. We use this word because in order to make Kake Udon, you must first place the heated and drained udon noodles into the empty bowl and then you pour the hot soup onto the noodles.

Thank you! ^^ That helped me a lot.

I looked at the word kake (bet) and then thought about how that can possibly relate to udon, but then I figured it's kakeru (to pour). Took me about a minute to figure that out :p

mmmmm udon is good

animemaga 02-01-2009 01:39 AM

I get my udon from the county square market in packs like ramen, but they are refrigerated and already soft. :yhgirl:

nobora 02-01-2009 02:25 AM

I love udon ~!! I get mine at a store called tokyo market :rheart:

SceptileMaster 02-04-2009 01:31 AM

I've never had udon but want to try it, would the packeted stuff leave a good first impression or am I better doing to a restaraunt?

Oni 02-06-2009 01:06 AM

I eat the packaged stuff... mainly because that's all they sell near me. Sadly.

You should go to a resturant first, and if you like it then you'll most likely like the packaged kind.

SceptileMaster 02-07-2009 11:59 PM

I've heard you also get curry udon which sounds nice.

peterv20 02-08-2009 09:01 PM

Iko 02-13-2009 06:17 PM

I like Udon a lot~
I don't know if it's traditional since I get it from a Chinese take-away, but I like Beef Udon! :p Udon noodles are yummy and filling~!

survivingonrice 02-13-2009 08:46 PM

I like udon too...but between udon or soba i choose SOBA!!...well i guess there are many types of both...but yeah i like soba better

SceptileMaster 02-15-2009 08:07 PM

Just had it for the first time about half an hour ago and it was really delicious. I could get used to them.

iatethechildren 02-23-2009 06:54 PM

Wow, I've never tried Udon but I just googled it. They look filling...the noodles are THIICK. o.o' I'm definitely going to have to try it.

When I was in Tokyo I had some Curry udon that was so FREAKIN spicy I almost couldn't finish it... but it was mighty delicious!

SceptileMaster 02-28-2009 02:17 AM

I like spicy things though. I often get vindaloo curry at indian restaurants, although I assume it might actually be hotter in india than in the UK.

I know that this is a bit off-topic for a thread on Japanese food, but I think that vindaloo is one of those things that's more popular in England than it is in India. It tends to be something that drunk British men eat to show off to their women folk, but it really just means something cooked with vinegar (and garlic?). The real men, of course, eat phall in Indian restaurants after pub closing time. That is usually the hottest thing on the menu and therefore even more impressive to the long-suffering British womenfolk. ;)

Sounds like a good thing by me also, the restaurant will give you a full on experience you will remember hopefully as a first impression and from then on udon noodles will taste awesome ^^ :p

SceptileMaster 03-07-2009 10:59 AM

I'm definetely no show off but in a decent amount of indian restaraunts vindaloo may be the hottest thing on the menu. Of many places will serve hotter curries which I would probably stay far away from I was just using it as an example to say that I would probably like curry udon if it was spicy.

Yes, indeed. My message wasn't intended to be insulting to you, though I can see that it might have looked that way. :o

Oh, and by the way - from The Japan Centre in Piccadilly: curry flavour noodles!

Unfortunately for me I live in the north-west where there is nothing and nothing ever happens. It kinda sucks since London is one of the only places I almost almost semi-like in England, but it's pretty expensive.

I found a place in Manchester though that looks pretty good. Not been to it yet though so I can't say for sure but they're website looked okay.
