Tsukimi Udon (full Moon Udon) image

Literally translated, tsukimi means "viewing the moon". The egg in this dish represents the "full moon" surrounded by "clouds" of noodles. It is traditionally served in the autumn but I love it all year long. For some reason, I find it very romantic.lol.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The broth was not very flavorful and the noodles were a bit mushy. The tempura was also a bit greasy. I would not recommend this recipe.
