After you have tried a bite, now put the sara-udon sauce on the right side of the other half. In Nagasaki, the home of sara-udon, it is said that the taste of sara-udon is only truly achieved when the sara-udon sauce is added. It certainly gives a more mellow depth to the flavor.

First, when you open the wagarashi packet, put the spicy mustard on the edge of the plate, not directly on the sara-udon. Then, use chopsticks to take a small amount of the spicy mustard and mix it with the vegetable an sauce.
