Bukkake Udon

Bukkake udon is a dish of boiled udon noodles topped with various ingredients and seasonings and a little bit of だしsoup poured over. The noodles and soup can be served hot or cold, and have more ingredients and various seasonings compared to those of other prefectures. It is said that each household has its own bukkake udon. The soup has a strong taste, particularly with a sweet taste, which is influenced from soba soup. Other areas use grated ginger as one of the seasonings, but in Kurashiki grated wasabi (horse radish) is used instead (some houses or restaurants use ginger also). This can be also said as an influence of soba.
