Kake udon is one of Japan’s most comforting noodle dishes: thick, springy wheat udon served in a steaming bowl of clear dashi broth. At Sushijiro, our Singapore central kitchen and Japanese culinary team prepare kake udon the traditional way, drawing on our omakase heritage to balance kombu, bonito and a gentle soy seasoning into a broth that is light yet deeply savoury. For events across the island, it is a warming, crowd-pleasing option that suits every guest, from senior leadership to interns at a casual team lunch.
What is kake udon?
Kake udon is hot udon in dashi broth, finished simply so the noodles and stock take centre stage. Where richer ramen leans heavy, kake udon is clean and restorative, the kind of bowl people reach for when they want something soothing rather than indulgent. We garnish each serving with sliced spring onion and a touch of kamaboko or tempura crisp, with optional toppings available so guests can customise their bowl.

Kake udon as a live noodle bar station
For interactive events, kake udon shines as a live station. Our udon and noodle bar lets guests watch as noodles are blanched to order, ladled with hot dashi, and finished with their chosen toppings. It is theatre and comfort food in one, ideal for corporate mixers, open houses and milestone celebrations where you want a focal point that keeps guests talking and queueing happily.
Buffet and set-menu catering
Prefer a hands-off format? Kake udon works beautifully in a Japanese buffet spread, held hot in insulated vessels so each bowl arrives warm and fragrant. Pair it with sushi, donburi and sides for a balanced lunch or dinner, or add it to a plated set for a more formal sit-down. Browse the full menu to build a spread that fits your occasion and headcount.
Perfect for team lunches and corporate events
A hot bowl of udon is the ultimate office comfort food. For recurring corporate Japanese catering, kake udon delivers a satisfying, low-fuss meal that keeps teams energised through workshops, town halls and end-of-quarter celebrations. Because it is so universally liked, it is an easy choice when you are feeding a mixed crowd with different appetites and preferences.
Delivery and serving hot
Udon is at its best when freshly served, so we plan delivery and setup carefully. Broth and noodles travel separately and are combined on-site, with live-station options keeping everything piping hot throughout your event. Our team handles transport, setup and equipment so you can focus on your guests rather than logistics.
