   • 2022 October 19, J. Kenji López-Alt, “What Kenji López-Alt Makes His Family for Dinner”, in The New York Times‎:

     The first time I had niku udon was at a Japanese convenience store, now long closed, near Columbia University in the mid-1990s. For about $5, the attendants would plop a handful of freshly boiled udon into a Styrofoam cup and add a ladle of dashi broth seasoned with soy sauce and mirin.
