2026.6.14 Wanted to eat udon 🍜 so I visited Numadaya 🏃 Entered just past OPEN and sat down immediately 🙌 Daikou (shrimp tempura, kitsune, tsukimi, meat, kelp) all-toppings udon and lunch set Tamagodon 🍜 My partner chose Daikou and lunch set Oden 🍢 😋 Bowl arrived at seat in a few minutes 🙆 The thin udon noodles had a chewy texture and went down smoothly, delicious, but the dashi broth is light yet strong in flavor (lol) The tamagodon was slightly sweet with a gentle taste, which I like 🙆 The oden also absorbed the flavors of various ingredients, which I like 🙆

An old-established udon and chanko nabe shop. Even the cheapest udon bowl is jumbo size from ¥650~, so the visual impact is overwhelming. However, there was an eggshell in the meat tendon I ordered, so I probably won't repeat it a second time.

Meat curry udon 950 yen, Lunch tendon 500 yen Lunch is super value and happy. Good harmony of light soup and light udon. Curry is just flavor. The dashi broth is light but the umami is not light. The tendon is also safe and the oden is impeccable.

Had lunch at this shop near Mikunigaoka Station where I got off thinking I'd go see the Kofun (ancient tombs). It was bustling with regulars at lunchtime, but it seemed they go to the table seats in the back, so the counter seats near the entrance were empty, which was nice and made it easy for an outsider to enter. It seems udon comes with a complimentary onigiri or oden, but after hesitating I asked for the onigiri. I ordered the chiku-ten bukkake udon, and the noodles were thin like cold noodles, with a smooth and firm texture which was a bit unusual, but delicious. The onigiri was a plain onigiri with seasoned kelp and such inside, but this was also good with a fluffy texture. Since the portion of udon is a bit small, people who eat a lot would be better off getting the onigiri instead of the oden.

□ Yamakake Tempura A thin udon shop like many in Sakai ✨ Topped with shrimp tempura, grated yam (tororo), and an egg. The noodles are smooth and truly delicious ◎ Didn't eat it this time, but they also have oden ♪ Udon shops in Sakai generally come as a set with oden, right! Would like to try it next time ~
