■ Classic Chilled Noodles: Both Noodles and Soup Renewed!

Furthermore, classic summer chilled noodles will be deliciously renewed, pursuing the golden ratio of balance between noodles, ingredients, and soup.

For "Chilled Chuka," the company aimed for a texture like freshly boiled noodles, adjusting the blend of Hokkaido-produced strong flour and medium flour to create elastic and smooth noodles. The sauce has been enhanced with a richer flavor.

For "Chilled Tanuki Udon" / "Chilled Bukkake Udon" / "Chilled Udon with Three Ingredients," the flour blend was reviewed to improve stickiness and smoothness. To enhance umami, kelp root was used in the soup, and the raw materials for the dashi were reviewed for each region.

For "Chilled Tororo Soba," the soba flour was improved to create noodles with enhanced elasticity and smoothness, and the soba soup recipe was reviewed, resulting in a deeper flavor.
