Yup – bukkake means splash. I know what you’re thinking though, you dirty sod. Let’s give it a try!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, narutomaki, kamaboko, kizami nori, shichimi togarashi, chili oil, Salad Cosmo organic mung bean sprouts, and spring onion, Udon came out nicely as this style of noodle usually does. The flavor was a slightly smoky and mentai hit to it – some might say a little fishy, but it’s a lot more than that. Good flavor. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4904760919151.
