This udon restaurant reflects the sensibilities of its owner-chef, Kyoto born-and-bred but who learned his craft in Kagawa Prefecture. The noodles are made using the Sanuki technique, but with added water to soften the texture. In a nod to Kyoto culture, the dashi does not use any dried sardines, deriving its flavour instead from kombu and katsuo-bushi. The speciality is the ‘Taiga-mori Udon’, topped with tempura. The kitsune udon, or udon with deep-fried tofu, is a fun dish.
