Yoshinoya is shaking things up by adding new Japanese Udon Noodles to its menu.
Udon is a thick noodle made from wheat flour that's a staple of Japanese cuisine. The noodles can be prepared and served in a variety of ways, including in a hot soup as kake udon. Instead of serving the noodles in broth, Yoshinoya's newest item consists of stir-fried udon noodles tossed with a savory sauce and grilled alongside a mixture of carrots, cabbage, and onion. The chain describes the savory new dish as "slightly sweet and delightfully chewy."
Yoshinoya's new Japanese Udon Noodles can be ordered as a hearty side dish, or enjoyed as part of any bowl for a small additional charge.
