Shop curious passing before. Heard from wife existed since childhood and often went with parents, wife decades later, first time for me. Moment entering shop, nostalgic udon shop smell drifted. Interior full even around 13:00 weekdays 🈵. Surprised by number of menu items seeing menu, but decided eating 'Katsudon & Zaru Udon' so ordered. Wife hesitated various things, eventually ordered 'Chirashizushi Set Meal'. Living long in Okayama due to work, most shops Sanuki udon style. Love that too, but today recalled Kansai-style udon taste often taken by parents in childhood at this shop. Katsudon broth worked well and enjoyed deliciously 😋 Regrettable night closed, lunch only, but want to go again.

Fish fry set meal (with zaru udon) 1,450 yen. Fry fried crisp, tartar delicious too. Pickles included, satisfaction present. Just, essential rice and noodles slightly lacking... Zaru udon medium-thin smooth throat, but weak firmness, impression hard distinguishing from convenience store noodles. Rice black sesame smokiness good, but freshly cooked feel thin, felt reliant on visual presentation. Also, signature soba and oyako-don sold out daytime, somewhat regrettable. Modest rating this time

Had tempura zaru soba, tempura quite regrettable 😭 Rock-hard burnt-like batter, flat shrimp tempura, only batter. Amount of batter like year-end supermarket shrimp. Surprised by hard tempura 😡 Price for this... Tempura oil might be overused. Want employee to test taste before serving to customers once. Warm udon broth delicious, so 2 stars but...
