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. 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.

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。

Kagawa Areas

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.
