lol Why would I introduce curry udon in this thread?

That's red miso and dashi all the way. The soup is thick and the udon is served very hard. People (even Japanese) eating this for the first time think it's uncooked. But that is how miso-nikomi-udon is served. Gummy and chewy. Nagoyans like myself love to dunk hot cooked rice into this.
