For the sauce, heat the sake, mirin, water, soy sauce and bonito flakes in a small saucepan and cook for 3 minutes. Pass the liquid through a sieve and leave to cool.

Boil enough water in a larger pot and cook the udon noodles in it for 3 minutes. When the noodles are done, drain them and then let them cool in a water bath. Fish out the noodles with your hands and squeeze them lightly to squeeze out as much water as possible. Finally garnish with the seaweed.
