    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...

    オリーブ豚のカレーうどんを食べた。 麺は讃岐饂飩らしく、太くふんわりし、コシがまずまずあった。 汁は、さらっとして甘辛。鰹出汁がよく出ている。 商品名になっているオリーブ豚は、薄切りで、硬いのもあるし、柔らかいのもある。食感がまちまち。 不味くないけど、感激を呼ぶ味ではない。味のレベルは普通である。

    朝6時開店のセルフの人気店、朝食のうどんを食べに訪ねました。ロケーションは高松市街地から7kmくらいあるので、車が利用できる方にお勧めです。 ぶっかけ(冷)とかけ(暖)を頂きましたが、コシが強く太めで噛み応え十分、おいしいうどんでした。高松に来てハマり食いしているあなご天を頂きましたが、どれも大き目の天ぷらなので、うどん巡礼中の方は、後に響かないように我慢するのも、選択肢かも。とにかく、味も量も充...

They make their udon the traditional way without any mechanical help, preserving their old-style flavor. The rectangular noodles twist and wrinkled slightly to better mingle with the broth.

    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Kokubunjichouni 169-1
    About 11 minutes on foot from JR Hashioka Station. This Sanuki-style udon shop has a bright, open interior, with table seating and relaxed tatami seating—great for a relaxed meal, even with the kids. The Ippuku taste—a meticulous expansion of historic “Sanuki udon” through in-house methods—has gained many fans from all around. The supple elasticity and firm cuts of thin noodle are doused in deep rich dashi (stock) in “bukkake udon” and “kake udon”, which are delicious and reasonably-priced.

    I had small size Udon with Chikuwa tempts for 390yen! It was very wonderful taste and enough to reason come back some time later:)

They offer moromi ice cream and soy sauce topped Mitarashi Dango rice cakes. The scrupulously selected domestic soy beans and wheat used for making the soy sauce using the traditional mushiro straw mat-method makes for an exquisite seasoning.

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.
