‘Dashi’ (Japanese soup stock)- The best timing to remove ingredients from the stock soup is when the element of ‘umami’ (the fifth taste) has most steeped out. Concentration monitoring is important in determining when the dashi is ready. The ATAGO's Udon Soba Meister Set is very useful for concentration management.

What is essential for soba restaurant is a properly made ‘soba tsuyu’ (dipping suce/soup) or ‘soba’ soup that coats the soba noodles evenly and adds a proper amount of saltiness that brings out the sweetness of the soba noodles. With ATAGO's Udon Soba Meister Set, I am confident with my ‘dashi’ and maintaining its flavor. Udon Soba Meister Set plays an active part in managing the ‘dashi’.

‘Soba's’ flavor changes day to day with change in weather and humidity,hence the ‘soba tsuyu’ must be adjusted accordingly. When using natural ingredients, its taste will differ from one ingredient to another. Rather than cooking by measuring quantities of ingredients, it requires one to adjust the flavor by understanding the subtle differences. Udon Soba Meister Set is suitable to make ‘soba’ that goes well with the day.

In order to offer the most delicious ‘soba’ possible,a proper soba ‘tsuyu’ (dipping sauce) concentration is essential.
