香川県にある日の出製麺所から「究極のさぬきうどん」と「さぬきの夢2000」を取り寄せてみました。通常はオーストラリア産小麦が主体となって作られている讃岐うどんですがさぬきの夢2000はうどん用に生産された香川県産小麦を100%使っているそうです。四国旅行で初めて知った食べ方「しょうゆうどん」で2種類の麺の味くらべをしてみました。ハッキリ言って違いはわかりませんでしたが、どちらもすごくオイシ～。製麺所ですが昼の1時間だけはお店でうどんが食べられるそうです。いいなぁ香川県。

I ordered two different kinds of udon noodles from a website: 'Kyu-kyoku no Sanuki Udon' (Ultimate Sanuki Udon Noodles) and 'Sanuki no Yume 2000' (Dream of Sanuki 2000). They are made and sold by a noodle factory called Hinode Seimenjo (in Japanese), in Kagawa prefecture. Sanuki Udon factories usually use Australian wheat, but 'Sanuki no Yume 2000' is made from 100% locally produced wheat flour. We had both at the same time to compare the taste, but we couldn't tell the difference. They were both too delicious! The Hinode noodle factory opens their little udon shop every lunch time, only for an hour. I wish I lived in Kagawa!

Hi Jun!! Thank you so much for my food parcel, I collected it from Matze yesterday. Silke will have to make me pancakes now!! I love those rice crackers so much, they are definately my favourite, there are so many different kinds in the bag. They are a bit fishy too. I'll have to swap you some later in the year for more liquirice!! I'm going to Holland next week and I'm sure I'll be able to find you some good examples for LDK!! Nx

Hi Nigel, it seemes like you really like the rice crackers, so I bought one for myself too. They were very nice, and actually quite posh rice crackers. A good choice! Have a great time in Rotterdam!

おいしいな～、なんて感動していた時に耳に入って来た香川県農協の「手延べ半生讃岐うどん」の不適正表示問題。「さぬきの夢2000」100％使用と表記して販売していたものが実際には「ASW（オーストラリア産小麦）」80％「夢2000」20％の割合だったことが11月8日に明らかになりました。ガクーン。もしや日の出製麺所も？なんて疑ってしまいましたが大丈夫でした。
