I visited the renowned Suzaki Shokuryohin Ten located in Mitoyo City, Kagawa. It's a place that every udon lover dreams of visiting at least once. It had been a while since my last visit.On this day, the sun was blazing. Honestly, waiting in line under the scorching heat was quite tough, but even that discomfort became the perfect spice to enhance the exquisite bowl of udon that awaited me.I ordered a small size of cold udon, topped with the classic chikuwa tempura and a soft-boiled egg. Sitting on a bench outside with my bowl in hand, I took my first bite of the noodles and was left speechless by the sheer shock of flavor. The incredible elasticity and firmness of these noodles truly exemplified authentic Sanuki udon. The thick noodles, chilled to perfection in cold water, burst with the rich aroma and sweetness of wheat with every bite. I couldn't help but wonder what I had been eating all this time, as the vitality of the noodles showcased an overwhelming presence.The soft-boiled egg added an unbelievable touch. Breaking the rich, creamy yolk and mixing it with the sharp, thick noodles, then drizzling a bit of flavorful dipping sauce before slurping it all up was nothing short of a revelation. The strength of the udon was gently enveloped by the creaminess of the egg, creating a perfect harmony. The chikuwa tempura I ordered alongside was also exceptional, with its crispy batter and savory flavor making it the ideal companion for the cold udon.I find it curious why this place stands out as particularly delicious, even among many similar self-service restaurants. Although I came to Kagawa, I didn't have time for a full udon tour and could only make a quick stop here. Next time, I want to be better prepared and buy some souvenirs as well.
