[Case Closed] People from Kansai take pride in the clarity of their dashi, for some reason.

How about that!? This is real udon!! The broth is clear and you can see to the bottom, right? Wow! Really! It’s lightly flavored but delicious♡ You can’t taste it.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Rather, it’s Tokyo’s soy sauce.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

The udon in Honshu and Shikoku has a lot of unique varieties, doesn’t it?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Did you end up with a taste disorder like Mr. Sawaki?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx31

I think that saying something is bland is overly influenced by its appearance.

The saltiness felt no different.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mikaku… shougai…?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s said that this person has developed a tolerance to anesthesia and it doesn’t work at all!

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recently realized that I feel unsatisfied without the aroma of dark soy sauce rather than just the color.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I say so, nowadays most udon in the Kanto region is of this type, so I wonder if young people really understand the difference from Kansai udon?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a thin flavor because it’s kelp broth, and Ran-neechan is also amazing.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Don’t you know Conan Airport?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sanuki udon (Kagawa), Inaniwa udon (Akita), Mizusawa udon (Gunma), Goto udon (Nagasaki), Ise udon (Mie), Kansai udon (Osaka)

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tell me where Conan Airport is.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Gosho Aoyama was born in Tottori Prefecture and moved to Tokyo to attend university.

Tottori is said to have a udon broth that is strongly influenced by Kansai, so he is considered a man who knows both the East and the West.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, everything east of Yamaguchi is basically Tokyo, so it’s fine…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of broth does Kagawa’s udon have?

Isn’t it basic to eat it with that soy sauce?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Simply put, this is just someone who hates Kansai-style udon, isn’t it?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Yeah, that’s excessive…

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Uncle, with anesthesia…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just bland because it’s light in color, right?

It’s not the flavor of noodle soup broth.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

One characteristic of people from Kansai is that they get angry when their dialect is ridiculed.

Was it?

Aren’t people from non-Kansai regions like that too?

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The color is simply a difference between black and brown soy sauce.

Regarding the intensity of flavor, in the Kanto region, the broth is rich, and the richer the broth, the more the flavor blends, making it harder to perceive the saltiness.

Kansai dashi has a low umami component and tends to taste salty and bland, making it often salty and lack depth.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are so many variations of Sanuki udon that can be eaten in its home region of Kagawa, so it’s hard to say that this is the soup.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

What kind of terrible restaurant did you go to that the Kansai dashi was salty and thin?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it rather that the Kanto region doesn’t season with just soy sauce?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>ミカク…ショーガイ…?

Here’s a present for you, Mr. Pig: a badge and a ladle!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it like that thing where light soy sauce actually has more salt content?

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Udon is delicious whether it’s made with Kanto’s broth or Kansai’s broth.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Without the strong aroma of bonito, it feels incomplete.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you say udon is too salty, you can’t eat ramen.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Answer me.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Those who say the flavor is weak are just newcomers.

Kansai is just less colorful but saltier than Kanto.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looked thin but was salty, which was surprisingly shocking.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

The flavor of the Kanto region primarily enjoys the sharpness of soy sauce, so if that is not accepted, I think a somewhat sarcastic attitude like that of a typical Kansai person will emerge.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the west uses kombu dashi with light soy sauce and the east uses katsuobushi dashi with dark soy sauce, it’s not a simple matter of strong versus mild.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s strange that it has no flavor…

It tastes normal.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The udon in Kanto was definitely lacking.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

The udon in Tokyo wasn’t delicious.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Higashimaru soup has the flavor of Kansai udon, but it’s quite normally salty.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was really surprised to see the pitch-black sauce on the Drunk Tsukaji’s show.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dashi and saltiness are quite strong.

Uncle, as I thought…

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was most surprised that Drunk Tsukaji has his own show.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

The lack of color leads to a bland taste, which simply means you probably never ate it before.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

They talk about dashi culture, but the dashi itself isn’t very rich.

They’re just pretending that being stingy and having bland flavors is elegant, trying to mask their cheapness.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It feels like Kansai people are comparing standing soba from Kanto with famous udon shops from Kansai.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Today’s thread on regional discrimination

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, the broth in Kansai is delicious.

You can drink just the broth.

Die from salt.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kanto is just drinking soy sauce.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the broth reveals one’s humanity.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both are delicious.

In a mix.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Udon enthusiast Osugi.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Within this thread, there are mixed opinions on whether the flavor is strong or weak.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The old man probably has distorted taste due to the side effects of anesthetic abuse…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kanto-style tsuyu has a rich broth where the soy sauce does not overpower the salty flavor.

Kansai broth is a thin soup with a strong salty flavor.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kanto udon already looks unappetizing.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kanto’s udon soup has a lot more soy sauce, so naturally, the salt content is higher.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

There may be a memory of when Dr. Aoyama ate Kansai udon regardless of his place of origin and found it tasteless.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tottori is definitely not part of Kansai.

Didn’t you learn that at school?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s so funny that Kanto is known for its rich broth.

It’s just sluggish, right?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The flavor of the udon soup is the best.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m from Kanto, but I like both broths.

When you eat udon, changing the broth each time keeps it from getting boring.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amusing that despite slathering on a lot of flour-based ingredients and sauce, the delicacy of the flavor is being unraveled, right? Kansai.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Making the differently flavored “Donburi” from the east and west a souvenir from your trip will get a little bit of a reaction.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Here, as a compromise, let’s eliminate the udon broth and limit the way to eat it to with raw egg.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kansai udon is pretty cheap and bad, isn’t it?

It’s understandable that Kagawa, dominated by plenty of broth made with iriko, has captured attention.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve gone through life without ever touching Detective Conan at all.

I wonder if it’s more enjoyable to read from the first volume… with over 100 volumes, the bar is set high.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tottori isn’t in Kansai, so maybe they just weren’t familiar with Osaka’s udon…?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

The hardness of water is different between Kanto and Kansai.

The ease of extracting broth also changes.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shall I eat some frozen Sanuki udon…?

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

You don’t drink all the soup from noodle dishes, do you!?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Using Conan’s depiction as a stick to bash local areas is ridiculous, isn’t it?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, you know… soba doesn’t go well with the sauce from Kansai…

Don’t eat with that combination? Yeah.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It seems like there are people here who have a serious complex about Osaka.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t you using Kanto soy sauce to kill the dashi?

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Talk more about Tohoku’s udon.

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I haven’t eaten anything but Sanuki-style bukkake udon for a long time.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s probably someone from Kansai depicting a Kanto person with prejudice against Kansai.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I went to Osaka the other day, but I forgot to eat udon.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the old man usually drinks all the udon broth.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both broths have been around for a long time, but some people criticize them just because they are different from the local broth.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Kyushu’s udon in a different category?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fight with udon from the east, west, south, and north.

I thought that, but southern udon…?

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just that you’ve become a fool for flavors because you’re used to the rich soy sauce of Kanto?

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, well, don’t fight.

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m from Osaka, but I think Kanto-style udon is also good in its own way, right?

These days, people are drinking various soups with ramen.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kagawa’s udon is made with iriko broth.

Kansai’s udon uses kombu broth.

Gen is barefoot.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I understood the goodness of Kansai udon with Higashimaru soup!

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

It somehow has a taste reminiscent of wartime, like the udon in Osaka…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the ramen in the west really thin?

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You should read it…! Detective Conan…!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

You won’t be able to tell the difference between Donbei East and West unless you eat them side by side.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has the flavor of Kanto become milder since the Edo period?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m from Kansai, but I don’t feel proud of having a light-colored broth at all.

If it’s delicious, the color doesn’t really matter.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why do you try to evaluate things instead of just ending it with a discussion about preferences?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can understand why a person from Tokyo would say something like this.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ramen covered in pitch-black garlic oil is certainly off-putting, but is that really how it feels?

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

The broth of ramen and udon in Tokyo nowadays isn’t as dark as it used to be.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you order udon and this comes out, you’ll be shocked.

If you order udon and this comes out, you'll be shocked.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

But lately in Tokyo, it’s not about dashi.

The kishimen is still soy sauce-based as always, but…

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

Many people confuse the terms “Osaka,” “Kansai,” and “West Japan.”

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Kanto region, the basic seasoning is made by adding kaeshi to katsuobushi dashi.

In Kansai, the flavor is seasoned with a double soup of bonito broth and kombu broth, using light soy sauce and mirin.

The salt concentration is higher in the Kanto region, while glutamic acid is more abundant in the Kansai region.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the udon culture different between Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe!?

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not the Kanto area, but Tokyo that is unusually dark.

Recently, the traditional Tokyo udon has decreased, so it’s becoming unrecognizable.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

Udon eaten in Tokyo is becoming like Kagawa-style udon.

The double soup that amplifies umami is powerful.

On the contrary, there aren’t many Kansai udon shops in Tokyo, right?

It’s just that some kushiage shops serve kasu udon, but it’s clearly a Kanto-style version that isn’t the original Kansai broth.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Tottori’s udon salty?

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m from Kansai, but I grew up eating Ise udon, so I found Tokyo’s udon to be rather pale in color.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fukuoka’s udon has delicious broth and burdock tempura, but the noodles…

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they dislike the way the broth of Kanto’s udon absorbs the color and turns brownish.

179: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If the color is faint, then if it has no flavor, even saltwater wouldn’t be salty.

The depth of flavor and color doesn’t matter.

185: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are often depictions of Osaka people showing a strong sense of rivalry with Tokyo, but is that really the case in reality?

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you feeling frustrated and attacking Kansai because you can’t criticize the Expo anymore?

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

On the contrary, sweet things are tough for me.

I’m used to the taste of Kanto, so it’s a bit troublesome that there’s sugar in the soy sauce.

If you want it to be sweet and salty, I want to adjust it by adding sugar myself, so don’t add it…

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

Should I have udon for lunch…?

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

In extreme cases, even when looking at soy sauce, thin soy sauce tends to have a higher salt concentration than thick soy sauce, so the intensity of color and flavor does not necessarily correlate.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was someone in the company who was a hardcore Osaka person and always made Tokyo their enemy.

It’s just one person, though…
