Udon Noodles in Japan(日本のうどん)

You may think of ramen when you think of Japanese noodles. However, in Japan, udon is among the most popular forms of noodles. Udon noodles are thicker and chewier than ramen noodles, and the soup has a milder flavor, especially in the Kansai region (West Japan, like Osaka and Kyoto). The photographs below show two varieties of udon: conventional udon and zaru udon. Zaru udon differs from regular udon in dipping the noodles into the sauce.

日本の麺といえばラーメンを思い浮かべるかもしれません。しかし、日本では、うどんは最も人気のある麺の形態の 1 つです。うどんはラーメンよりも太くてコシがあり、特に関西地方 (大阪や京都などの西日本) では、スープはマイルドな味です。下の写真は、従来のうどんとざるうどんの2種類のうどんです。ざるうどんは通常のうどんと違い、麺をタレにつけて食べます。
