But that’s a difference to the culture.
It’s not udon, it’s Okinawan soba.
We generally think of soba as thin noodles containing a percentage buckwheat flour. Okinawan soba are wheat based and more closely resemble ramen. And they are quite deeply yellow/amber pigmented, much washes out in the water and pic.
Happy New Year!
