Kake udon is a traditional Japanese noodle dish consisting of fresh udon noodles in a simple dashi broth. Ginger, mirin, and soy sauce are also mixed in for added flavor, and you can add Shichimi togarashi (a spice mix) for a kick, as well. This soup is comforting, satisfying, and packed with umami flavor.
