ざるうどんと舞茸天ぷらのセット(楓)を食べました。細めの麺ですが、コシが強くとても美味しいです。タレは出汁の効いたつゆですが、有料でゴマだれも頼めます。舞茸の天ぷらも香りが強くとても美味しいです。

This Mizusawa Udon restaurant is at the foot of the mountain entrance to Mizusawa Kannon, Bando No. 16 station, located approximately 20 minutes from the Kan’etsu Expressway Shibukawa Ikaho Interchange.

I’ve never been a big fan of udon but this place changed my mind. The udon has a much better bite than other udon. The tempura was also quite good, especially if you like mushrooms.

Gunma Pref. Tomiokashi Shimokuroiwa 595

"This restaurant's famous silk udon is near to the World Heritage Tomioka Silk Mill. It uses a blend of wheat from Gunma Prefecture's Norin No. 61 and Hokkaido-produced wheat paired with silk protein solution from Tomioka Ainota's 100% natural cocoons to create silky smooth yet firm ""Cocoon Udon"" noodles, which go outstandingly well with tempura. These flat ""Okkirikomi"" noodles, made by mixing wheat with silk protein are a seasonal limited product, and are excellent with green onions, which are softer and sweeter in the colder seasons, and French duck in the restaurant's extremely popular autumn and winter-only Duck Kirikomi menu item."

Gunma Pref. Shibukawashi Ikahomachikaho 544-130 meal station inside Ikaho store

A curry udon restaurant located close to the “Miharashishita” bus stop, a 20 minute bus ride from Shibukawa Station. Osawaya, a company which produces Mizusawa udon noodles, launched an online shop in 2007 with the aim of introducing as many people as possible to delicious Mizusawa udon. Thereafter, Osawaya opened this curry noodle in the Shoku no Eki Ikaho food-themed mini shopping mall.

The uniquely fragrant spices of the restaurant’s Keema curry udon will tingle the tongue.
