    Yamagoe Udon is an udon noodle restaurant founded in 1941 in Ayagawa Town, Ayauta County, Kagawa Prefecture, famous as the home of kamatama udon. Even during the week people are often waiting to get a table at this sought after restaurant. Kamatama udon was conceived when a regular customer came into the restaurant with an egg and ate it after mixing it with some hot udon noodles straight from the pot. Many people come for this great tasting dish of udon noodles made with the famous local waters, egg and specially made stock and soy sauce mixture all brought together in perfect harmony. The kamatamayama which is the kamatama udon topped with yam, is also popular. They also have a wide variety of toppings including tempura.

The niku bukkake udon noodles are equally popular. The inari sushi from the side dish menu is also highly regarded.

    おうどんも手打ちではなく、機械で使っており麺は均等です。あまりコシがなくお出汁も薄く、香川のおうどん屋さんとしてはあまりおいしさが感じられなませんでした。蒲鉾がのっていたりと、彩りは美しく無骨なおうどんではありませんでした。

    Kagawa Pref. Marugameshi Dokichouhigashi 9-283 Clover Shoei Building BC
    You’ll find this popular udon shop near the Museo Marugame Hirai (Marugame Hirai Museum) in Doki Town, Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture. The noodle recipe was passed down from parent to child, and everything is done by hand, from the kneading of the dough to the stretching, cutting, and boiling. The udon freshly lifted from the pot is a delicacy with a nice, soft surface and a very springy texture. In addition to the “kama-tama udon,” there’s also cold udon and tsukemen noodles similar to zaru-style noodles. There’s only counter seating available, and the soup stock and seasonings are all self-service. The restaurant closes once the noodle supply runs out.

    四国水族館訪問で近くに寄ったので、開店直後に訪問しました。 セルフ方式の多い香川のうどん屋さんですが、こちらのお店は先にうどんを注文して席で待つというちょっと変わったスタイルで戸惑いました。 ちなみに支払いは、食後に食器の返却と一緒です。 うどんが細めなのが特徴ですが、コシはしっかりある美味しいうどんでした。 ひやひやの出汁も美味しくて全部飲み干しました。

    Hidden away in the mountains around Manno Town, Nakatado County, Kagawa Prefecture, Yamauchi is a famous udon restaurant frequented by up to 300 people a day on the weekends and holidays. The udon noodles, painstakingly made by the restaurant owner and cooked in a large pot over a wood fire, have a firm texture with a nice bite to them. Their broth, with flavors of dried young sardine coming through, and locally sourced tempura are also very good. Yamauchi’s hiya-atsu udon with piping hot broth on cold noodles is a popular choice.

    I ate Udon. That was very nice taste. Udon is different taste by soup and noodles. I like this restaurant’s Udon taste!!

    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Yashimanakamachi 91
    This udon restaurant is next to the “Shikoku Village” folk museum in Yashimanaka Town, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It operates out of an old home with a straw-thatched roof built at the end of the Edo period, giving the interior an authentic Japanese feel. The “kama-age udon” is a popular option for the gentle texture and springiness of the noodles. Other well-received options include the “tokudai udon” for two and the “kazoku (family) udon,” which comes in a large tub. The broth, with its secret dried sardine-base, and the freshly fried tempura make a great combination.

    We had no idea we were entering udon heaven when we decided to eat lunch at Waraya. We noticed the building that was attracting a lot of people who had come and parked and were not going to the...

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
