131172


A speciality of the Gotō Islands: hand-pulled noodles made using a time-honoured tradition. These exceptional udon noodles are the result of a unique craft originating from the Gotō Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. Unlike machine-cut noodles, these udon are made using the traditional ‘tenobe' method, which involves manually stretching the dough to achieve a texture of remarkable density and resilience. The traditional recipe incorporates local wheat flour, sea salt and a touch of camellia oil (tsubaki), typical of the archipelago, which gives the noodles their pearly white sheen and incomparable smoothness on the palate. This complex process offers a rare sensory experience, combining a distinct firmness with a tender centre, the hallmark of Tenobe's high quality. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary applications: True prestige items for Japanese and fusion cuisine, these udon noodles are suitable for all seasons. They excel in "Jigoku-daki" (served directly in the cooking water and dipped in an accompanying sauce), in refined broths ("Kake-udon") or simply cold with a delicate tsuyu to appreciate their mild, nutty flavour. Their exceptional texture also makes them perfect for high-end stir-fries (“Yaki-udon”), where they retain perfect elasticity without becoming mushy. ► Preparation: Cook for 7 to 9 minutes in a large volume of unsalted boiling water. For cold service, a thorough rinse under cold running water is recommended to set the texture. Their artisanal structure allows them to retain an optimal bite even after a short time in hot broth. ► Storage: A dry product to be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light. Ensure the packet is sealed tightly after opening to preserve the subtle aroma of the camellia oil. Location in store: Epicerie fine
