Kamatama udon

Kamatama udon is a traditional Japanese dish featuring thick, chewy udon noodles served with a raw or lightly cooked egg on top. The name "kamatama" means "through the pot," referencing the method of preparation. The dish is typically garnished with soy sauce, green onions, and sometimes tempura bits or nori. When mixed, the egg creates a rich, silky sauce that coats the noodles, enhancing their flavor and texture. It's enjoyed both as a quick, comforting meal and as a showcase of simple, high-quality ingredients that highlight Japanese culinary balance.
