Kitsune Udon

Cultural Context

Kitsune Udon, originating from the Osaka region of Japan, is named after the fox (kitsune) due to the belief that foxes favor aburaage. This comforting dish features thick udon noodles served in a savory dashi broth topped with sweet fried tofu. Traditionally enjoyed as a quick meal, it has gained popularity beyond Japan, inspiring various adaptations worldwide.
