This cup instant udon only needs hot water and a wait of 5 minutes to be ready to eat. Topped with slightly sweet deep-fried tofu, it's so popular in Japan that it's hard to find anyone who doesn't know about it.
The key to its flavor, the "dashi" broth, uses a blend of two types of dried bonito flakes: one with a rich aroma and another with a more intense flavor. By directly adding powdered bonito flakes, the authentic taste of dashi can be enjoyed. The firm noodles are designed to absorb the broth well, and the deep-fried tofu soaks up the soup, allowing the delicious taste of the dashi to be fully savored. After enjoying the original taste, it is recommended to add the accompanying shichimi togarashi (seven-spice chili pepper) according to your preference.
There are also distinct features of the product based on regions such as “East“ for Tohoku and Kanto, “West“ for Hokuriku, Chugoku, and Kyushu, “Kansai“ as a Kinki region limited version, and “Hokkaido“ as a Hokkaido limited version. Each uses a different flavor of broth.

MARUCHAN Red Kitsune Udon has always been one of the instant noodles I make sure to buy whenever I visit Japan. The noodles are springy and smooth, and they still have a nice texture after soaking. My favorite part is the large piece of fried tofu soaked with broth. It's sweet and savory with a subtle bonito aroma, making every bite satisfying. The broth is light and flavorful without being too salty, so it doesn't feel heavy even after finishing the whole bowl. Sprinkle on the included shichimi spice for even more aroma!
