Looking for a sweet condiment to add to my kake udon
 

I want to add a sweet condiment to my kake udon. However, after speaking with a Japanese friend and doing some research online, I wasn't able come up with anything.

Currently my condiments used are as follows:
1) Thinly sliced scallion (green onion)
2) Shichimi togarashi (7 flavor powder)
3) Ichimi togarashi (chili powder)
4) Rayu (chili oil)

As far as I know, the current condiments I am using are traditional condiments used by Japanese people in Japan. I am just surprised that there is not a sweet condiment the Japanese people use to add to kake udon.

I like the taste when I add Thai sweet chili sauce, but I know this is not a Japanese condiment. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to have something sweet to add to kake udon, but I want to keep my soup authentic.

One Japanese person I chatted with told me I could add sugar. Can I add sugar? Has anyone else ever heard of this?

lol If you know anything about udon, you know that ain't true. :D

Generally, Japanese people tend to avoid sweet for their meal except putting a small amount as hidden flavour.　
Many Japanese think dish for meal should not sweet and defferent from dessert.

Well sometimes the pickled ginger can be a bit sweet, depending on which brand you buy...

This may not be what you were looking for, but if you wanted to eat sweet-flavored udon, you could panfry it using sukiyaki sauce. Any sukiyaki sauce from the store will do but the best will be the actual left-over sauce from sukiyaki. A soup-less udon this is.

xYinniex, thanks so much for the helpful reply. Does anyone know if gari is eaten on the side with kake udon?

lol Maybe in Yinnie's country (England), not mine (Japan).

eh... i'm probably thinking of yaki-soba...
but beni-gari is really good w/ fried foods ^_^

like... fried rice and gyuudon... and... yakisoba/udon! xD
