Slices of rich duck breast cooked with leeks gives this kamo soba body and richness, making it ideal for cold nights. A garnish of grated daikon and yuzu peel add peppery freshness and a hint of floral citrus, tying together a beautiful bowl of noodle soup. The entire dish comes together in about 15 minutes, great for nights when you're craving something complex and filling, but just can't bring yourself to stand for long over the stove.
