Along with the culinary history, fascinating facts and in-depth know-how, there is a quick guide to noodles, from plump udon to skinny hosomen to the classic wavy chukasoba. There are profiles for must-have condiments and flavour bombs like nori, spice mixes, sauces and soya, as well as toppings such as tea-soaked eggs, mushrooms and fishcakes, all to achieve that umami taste sensation!
