Wagamama Saku Saku Duck Soba

Wagamama saku saku duck soba costs £21.40 and carries 933 kcal, and the name announces the point: saku saku is Japanese onomatopoeia for crispy, the sound the duck makes. Shredded crispy duck over teppan fried noodles with amai sauce, egg, beansprouts, leek, spring onion and chilli, finished with a spicy teriyaki sauce, plus the small bones advisory ducks bring with them.

The dish runs two sauces where the rest of the page runs one, and the interplay is the reason to order it. Amai, the sweet sauce from the kids menu grown up, coats the noodles underneath; the spicy teriyaki hits the duck on top; and the crispy shreds carry both down through the plate as you eat. Leek and spring onion give it an allium sharpness the other soba plates lack, pointed straight at the duck pancake flavour memory every British diner carries.

It sits one price line below the steak at £21.40, with the section's second biggest calorie count at 933 kcal and a serious 46.5 g of protein. The sugar is the page's highest at around 23 g, the toll of running two sweet sauces at once, and the salt commands similar respect. The price is published by wagamama.

Anyone asking how much is the saku saku duck soba is usually weighing it against the steak plate above it, and the honest answer is that this is the more distinctive dish: the steak is excellent execution of a familiar thing, the duck is a plate with its own personality. The duck gyoza beside it doubles down for committed duck tables, and a sparkling water with lime does the cutting the two sauces need.
