These distinctive black noodles are a traditional Japanese style of udon made with the addition of finely powdered binchotan charcoal, giving the noodles their striking dark colour and smooth, firm texture.
Binchotan charcoal has long been used in Japanese cuisine and food preparation, valued for its purity and subtle mineral qualities.
Made from wheat flour and crafted in the classic udon style, these noodles are thick and pleasantly chewy, making them ideal for hearty noodle dishes.
Despite their dramatic black colour, the flavour remains mild and balanced, allowing them to pair beautifully with rich broths, savoury sauces, vegetables, seafood or meats.
Black udon noodles are not only delicious but also visually impressive, adding a unique presentation to both traditional and modern dishes. They are perfect for warming bowls of soup, stir-fried noodle dishes, or chilled noodle salads.
