    We stumbled on this place walking around Dotonbori. My Japanese friend said that it looked very local. He was right. Not very crowded on Friday night. Food was excellent. We had udon and shrimp...

    Chitose Annex located on the first floor of Namba Grand Kagetsu which is known as the Comedy Hall of Fame is a restaurant, which is an annex of the famous restaurant for the well-known dish Niku-sui. The dish is meat udon noodles with the noodles removed and a semi-boiled egg added. It became popular since Kyo Hanaki, an actor who used to perform at Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, ordered the dish at the main restaurant when he suffered from a hangover. The soup with plenty of beef on top has a delicate taste with the punch of bonito flavor. Making a set meal with rice covered with an egg is popular. The closest station is Namba Station.

    肉うどんや肉吸い(肉うどんのうどん抜き)が名物です。早く食べられるので良いです。なんばグランド花月の1階にあるので、この辺りで食事する際には便利だと思います。

    A venerable udon noodle shop located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward said to be the originator of kitsune udon noodles. When the restaurant was first founded in 1893, it served the inari fried tofu separate from the udon noodles, but after it became common for customers to add the inari to their noodles, the restaurant began serving the noodles with the inari already on top. The dashi stock, noodles, and spongy, juicy fried tofu made according to the same recipe as when the shop first opened are the taste of old Osaka.

    Udon soup the same for any toppings. One of the bowls I got a tiny piece of fish cake. No surprises. Size of the bowls are pretty small, not filling at all.

    This handmade udon noodle restaurant continues to serve delicious udon in accordance with the rules set out by its founder: To have at least one person dedicated just to boiling the noodles at any given time, and to serve chilled udon no matter what time of year. In addition to standards like nanbanjiru udon noodles with shrimp and spring onions, deep-fried tempura mochi rice cake udon, obake udon, and sufuransu udon, the restaurant also serves special seasonal items such as udonsuki which is particularly popular for family gatherings and parties.

    大阪の東心斎橋の小路にある路面の讃岐うどん店。入口が狭い細長い店だが、2階と3階にも客席がある。飲んだあとにここで食べるうどんが最高である。

    お蕎麦とうどんが選べるメニューがお多いです。私は細うどんの冷や麺を食べましたが、とても美味しかった。すりゴマをつゆに入れると美味しさが引き立ちました。 残念なのは女性の店員さん達がずっと私語をしていたこと。土曜日の18時ごろにお店に入ったのですが、我々と他1名のお客さんだけで空いていました。暇なのはわかりますが、おしゃべりを聞きたくないのに聞こえて来るのはまいりました。

While Osaka prefecture is the country's second smallest prefecture, its capital, Osaka City, is the country’s third-largest and arguably one of the most popular in the Kansai region thanks to its vibrant nightlife, the Osaka people’s openness, and its much-loved cuisine, which has earned it the nickname "the nation’s kitchen."
