On a Saturday in August at 8:15 AM, I visited with two friends. This was the first day of our Kagawa udon shop tour, and this was our 2nd out of 4 stops. It was my first time visiting this restaurant. We parked our car in the small parking lot in front of the shop, where a man in a Mario hat helped us park smoothly. The sign indicated that we could enter at 8:45, so we took number 24 and waited in a temporary dining area outside. At 8:41, we received instructions and lined up on the road. While in line, our orders were confirmed, and we ordered: - Cold Large: JPY 500 - Cold Small: JPY 350 - Hot Small: JPY 350 Once we received our udon while still in line, we headed inside. Inside, we first added toppings: - Ginger - Green onions - Egg (JPY 60) While waiting at the register, we passed through the souvenir udon section and the fried food area. I wanted to enjoy the noodles, so I ordered the large size, which I usually don’t do, and skipped the fried items and egg. Having visited many udon shops in Kagawa, I felt that the chewy texture and strong bite of these noodles might be the best I’ve ever had. The fact that I hadn’t visited this place over a decade ago when I first got into udon touring suggests it wasn’t as famous back then. Yet, the taste was exceptional. It must have been a hidden gem known only to a few. I left feeling completely satisfied. I finished eating around 9:20 AM. Although it would be difficult to recreate this at home, I bought some udon and broth to take home as a memento for my sauna-loving friend. [Reminder Notes] Next time, I will order the Cold Large: JPY 500. If I feel like it, I’d also like to try the Croquette: JPY 100. I actually had a bite of the croquette my companion ordered, and the sweetness of the potato was delightful. It was completely unexpected. One thing to note is not to overdo the broth. Just a light drizzle is enough; too much can make it too salty. Additionally, it seems best to use the broth available in the waiting area rather than adding it inside the restaurant. On this day, we continued our udon shop tour in Kagawa, heading to our third stop, Yamauchi Udon.
