London’s Koya is taking its famed udon noodles nationwide with the launch of a meal kit that fits through letterboxes.

Delivered by ‘Koya Mail’, the Omiyage box will be available from 15 February and contains two portions of dashi broth and udon noodles in a Koya-branded wool-insulated package. 

Handmade the day before dispatch, the udon and dashi are vacuum-packed to give a seven-day shelf life. 

Each box will come with a recipe card from Koya’s head chef and co-owner Shuko Oda, starting with a simple recipe on how to cook the udon and dashi at home. 

The collectible cards will change monthly and will be supplemented with Instagram videos, with upcoming recipe cards offering  tips on how to recreate Koya's other udon noodle dishes, including ​lamb cumin miso​. 

Priced at £14 including delivery, the boxes are inspired by the Japanese custom of omiyage: souvenirs gifted to friends, family or co-workers when returning from a trip.

The Omiyage box will be available to pre-order​through Koya’s website from today (9 February).

The boxes will be delivered via DPD nationwide every Tuesday to Friday each week

Koya was launched by Oda and John Devitt on Soho’s Frith Street in 2010, bringing a traditional Japanese udon bar to the West End.

There are now two Koya restaurants - Koya Soho and Koya City - the latter of which launched at Bloomberg Arcade in December 2017.
