Miso nikomi udon is one of the local dishes eaten mainly in Toyama Prefecture. This dish uses udon noodles as an ingredient and is simmered in a rich miso-based soup. In Toyama Prefecture, it is known as a warm dish that is especially loved during the winter.
A typical recipe for miso stewed udon is as follows:
1. Preparation of ingredients
Cut pork and vegetables (cabbage, carrots, onions, etc.) into appropriate sizes. Depending on the region of Toyama Prefecture, variations of ingredients may vary.
2. Make miso-based soup
Make miso-based soup using miso, dashi, soy sauce, mirin, etc. The type of miso and seasonings used may vary depending on the region.
3. Stew
Add the udon noodles to the soup and simmer with the other ingredients. The flavor of the vegetables and pork transfers to the soup, and the udon noodles absorb the flavor of the soup, giving it a deep flavor.
4. Finishing
Simmer until the vegetables and meat are tender and the udon noodles have absorbed the soup, then serve in a bowl. Finally, you may add toppings such as chopped green onions, tenkasu, or chili peppers to your liking.
Miso Nikomi Udon is characterized by a rich and rich miso soup, and the vegetables and udon noodles soak up the flavor of the soup. It is popular as a hot soup during the winter and is loved by locals and tourists in Toyama Prefecture.

Wanted to watch all 5 episodes but it’s almost midnight, so I’ll watch the last 2 tomorrow
Compared to both the manga and the anime, the live action moves very quickly but it isn’t rushed. Seriously can’t believe there are only 5 episodes… I need at least 10.
I really enjoyed how we got to see what Yusuke and Kuwabara are up to while Sakyō plans to open up the portal and Tarukane winning money at casinos. I think the idea of seeing both sides (earth and the demon world) work at the same time is genius. I also love how Yusuke has become an older brother figure to the boy he saved from the car crash 🥰
ACTION SCENES = PERFECTION 🤌
The only thing I didn’t like so far is the mirror that Kurama uses to bring back his mother. It’s called a mirror but looks likes an iPad. The staff couldn’t find one at IKEA or a home store???
Genkai and Toguro 😭😭😭 while there wasn’t a battle, the two had a conversation about their past before her death. I was also surprised that it happened in ep 3.
Goki is terrifying I mean look at him. I don’t really need to say anything except that
Overall, I’m really enjoying this series and it may be my favourite live action anime adaptation.
