Nama Udon noodles are a type of Japanese noodle that is known for its thick and chewy texture. "Nama" translates to "fresh" in English, indicating that these udon noodles are made with fresh ingredients and have a distinct quality. Udon noodles are made from wheat flour, water, and salt. The dough is kneaded and then rolled out into a flat sheet. It is then folded and cut into thick, long strands, giving the udon noodles their characteristic shape.
