"Nissin Donbei Limited Premium Kitsune Udon The Most Chimochi Noodles in History" will be released on November 16th. The estimated price is 205 yen (excluding tax).

From Nissin Foods "Nissin Donbei", a new product using "ultimate noodles" has appeared in pursuit of the deliciousness of udon. The "most chewy noodles in history", which contains the rare "mochi wheat" that produces mochi-like characteristics as part of the ingredients, has an unprecedented "mochi-mochi texture" and "thickness". I will.

In addition, the soup stock, which is an elegant harmony of kelp and bonito, is finished with a firm taste that the umami of the dashi stock is as good as the thick noodles. The ingredients are plump soybeans made from 100% whole soybeans, kamaboko, and green onions. As an attachment, "Colorful Shichimi" with a gorgeous flavor of Japanese pepper is combined.

■ What is "mochi wheat"?
A new wheat that was developed in Japan and is being cultivated mainly in parts of the Tohoku region. Starch, which makes up the majority of wheat, usually contains two components, amylose and amylopectin, in a fixed proportion. Generally, the lower the proportion of amylose, the more sticky it becomes and the slower the deterioration of starch quality. Like "glutinous rice", "mochi wheat" does not contain amylose in the starch, so when used in noodles, it has the same "mochi-mochi" characteristics as mochi.
