"Kitsune no Married Fondobo Udon" is a product developed after the "beef bone dashi noodle culture" of the beef bone soy sauce flavored ramen, commonly known as "Kudamatsu ramen", which is popular in Yamaguchi Prefecture. General udon soup is made with "Katsuobushi + kelp dashi", but Fondobo udon is made based on "Fondobo + kelp dashi" without using bonito flakes. The "seasoned triangle" on the udon is branded with a fox's face. The outline is nice.

" I asked Mr. Ao Fuwa, a popular writer with a fantastic style, to do the illustrations. "
