This spring, Marugame Udon is paying a culinary ode to Hanami and bringing the taste of Cherry Blossom season to the UK. 

The brand new Sakura Miso Udon range is a tribute to the cherished tradition of Hanami in Japan, a celebration of spring and renewal.

Hanami is a time for families and friends to gather under the blooming trees and enjoy the beauty of the blossoms, whilst sharing stories and savouring seasonal delicacies. In homage to this much-loved tradition, Marugame Udon brings the UK two brand new spring dishes.

Introducing:

  • Sakura Miso Salmon (£12.95) – Udon noodles in a traditional umami miso broth with shichimi spice, topped with marinated salmon, bok choy, onsen egg and classic Japanese garnishes 
  • Sakura Miso Tofu (£12.45) – Udon noodles in a traditional umami miso broth with shichimi spice, topped with marinated tofu, bok choy, daikon and classic Japanese garnishes

The Sakura Miso Udon range  is a tribute to the  timeless ritual of Cherry Blossom season – a comforting miso broth, rich with umami and a hint of shichimi spice. The marinated salmon and tofu is tender and flavourful, and symbolises the abundance of the season, with the fresh bok choy adding a touch of green, reminiscent of new life. The silky onsen egg evokes the gentle balance of nature and the classic garnish of bonito flakes sway like petals in the breeze. 

Spring at Marugame Udon will also see the launch of a brand new Yakisoba-style range. The sweet and savoury ‘dry noodle’ dishes will include:

  • Yakisoba-style Chicken Meatballs Udon (From £11.75) – Udon noodles in traditional Japanese yaki sauce with chicken meatballs and stir-fried veggies. Topped with bonito flakes and furikake seasoning.
  • Yakisoba-style Tofu Udon (From £10.75) – Udon noodles in traditional Japanese yaki sauce with tofu and stir-fried veggies. Topped with daikon and furikake seasoning.
