Udon
Udon is thick wheat noodles in a clean dashi broth, light and savoury with a quiet, kombu-and-bonito umami, so the wine should be bone-dry, saline or gently oxidative and very low in tannin, contrasting and cleansing rather than mirroring. Lightness and salinity are the keys. Avoid tannin and oak.
