Many Japanese will add udon noodles to the leftover soup from sukiyaki. This recipe is an evolution of that practice. Great tastes for the autumn season.

Thanks Mai – this was great! We had 11 people for dinner and they loved it….very easy to make.
I’m so bad when it comes to finding the right kind of beef for recipes. What kind of beef should I use for this recipe?
thank for doing this!! Going to try it tomorrow!
Thank you so much for all these beautiful recipes and this one in particular. I am completely new to Japanese food but have loved learning how to cook it and have become interested in Japan in general. (thanks for the link on the site, to the film Departures, has become one of my favourites!) This recipe is amazing and is loved by me and my friends. I have made it a couple of times with handmade udon noodles, its a bit of work but the results are well worth it. So thanks again for these really great site!
The soup is really tasty.
It’s too bad I kind of over-cooked my beef. But hey, I’m still a newbie.
this looks so good..thank you for the recipe..i will have
to try and make it this weekend, i hope i can find mirin and dashi
from superstore, if not there is japanese store in our area that
might carry it :D
Yum! This soup was great. Thank you!
mmmmmmmm. it’s raining today in okinawa. just made me this dish for lunch. the soup is good! i have been trying to find a good soup recipe to make at home, thanks!. I tend to find the hondashi powder too strong, so if i do use it, i usually half the powder in recipes. Although i do make my own dashi all the time to use.
