Actually, this is my second visit (also from last year) When I feel a little hungry, when I suddenly decide to go out, having a noodle restaurant that I can reach within 30 minutes is very helpful. The perfect place for such a situation is "Kama-age Udon Yashima". Moreover, they are open from lunch to dinner, making it very convenient! And with a wide variety of menu options, it's even more helpful! (laughs) But this time, I tried the "Pilgrimage Menu" (even though the pilgrimage is long over... I'm sorry) I apologize for the slightly cool photos. [Sudachi Oroshi Udon] [Cheese Butter Kamatama] It's quite delicious, like Carbonara. By the way, the first time I went, I had [Ten Toro Bukkake Udon] [Hamo Ten Ume Oroshi Udon]. In winter, dishes like Duck Nabe Udon and Hari Hari Nabe Udon seem delicious. I feel like going there again! I am participating in a blog ranking. Please click on the button.

I went to Moriguchi City for work. The parking lot is on the first floor and the store is on the second floor. A work colleague had bookmarked a restaurant they wanted to visit on social media. Although the specialty seems to be kettle-cooked udon, I really wanted to try the curry udon. I chose the "Energetic Set Lunch" for 1045 yen, which includes step 1 (choose your udon) with curry udon (with free large serving) and step 2 (choose your rice dish) with a large inari sushi with tempura (shrimp and seasonal vegetables: shrimp, pumpkin, green beans, seaweed). As expected, the udon had a good texture and choosing the curry udon was the right decision. I felt satisfied with this set for 1045 yen.

There is a sister store "Menya Yashima" nearby, but this time I came to the main store. I chose the large portion since it's free. I ordered the Chicken Tempura Rice Bowl for 990 yen, which comes with side dishes. The chicken tempura wasn't very juicy. The "Great Value Meal" for 1045 yen comes with two servings of udon noodles when you choose the large size, along with tempura and dipping sauce. The "Meat Kamameshi Udon Set" for 1155 yen is a specialty menu using black wagyu beef. The hot soup was delicious and easy to drink. I mixed the warm egg and beef together. The store is spacious and comfortable like a family restaurant, and they also serve warm tea.

It had been a long time (13 years) since I last visited the Moriguchi main store. On a Sunday afternoon, there were 6 people waiting. I decided to go for the udon to get in quickly! I ordered the special pork tempura udon (hot) with one plum rice ball. The ultimate set! The noodles were not as firm as Sanuki udon, but had a soft texture with a good chewiness. I will definitely go back when I am in the area again!

It was rare for a udon restaurant to continue... I just had that kind of feeling. The shop was located a little off National Route 1. I arrived a little after 11:30, and there was only one group of customers ahead of me. I was a bit worried, but by the time I left, more and more customers were coming in. I sanitized my hands at the entrance and sat at a table. After some hesitation, I ended up ordering the classic dishes. It was a different restaurant, but last time I had a parent and child bowl, so today I decided on a katsu bowl. I ordered a katsu bowl and a mini-hi-kara wakame udon set. Soon, the bowls arrived. The broth was flavorful, with a standard appearance. The egg was fluffy and delicious. The katsu was cut into small pieces, making it easy to eat. It came with pickled vegetables. The mini-hi-kara wakame udon had crispy tempura bits, adding richness to the dish. The udon had a firm texture and was chewy. Despite sweating from the hot udon, I added some shichimi spice and sweated even more. Sports clubs are great, but udon is also good. I was very satisfied. I ate a lot, so now I have to go jogging.

Recommended by a companion, I tried the curry udon at this restaurant. It was said to be a popular menu item. I was excited as I took a sip of the curry broth. Huh? I couldn't smell the broth at all. The curry flavor completely overpowered it, but the curry itself lacked spiciness. Hmm, disappointing. The udon had a good texture and was delicious though. I don't think I'll be coming back for the curry udon. I'm sorry.

This is a popular udon restaurant in Morokuchi. I originally planned to go to an Indian restaurant, but it was closed due to the pandemic. The restaurant is on the second floor, with plenty of parking space. It was quite crowded during lunchtime, with customers waiting. I ordered the katsu-don and udon set, but it was a bit pricey for a set meal. The udon was delicious with plenty of spice. The katsu-don was average, like a typical diner meal. I recommend ordering the udon as a single item rather than a set. Thank you for the meal.

Kamaage Udon Yashima, located in Yagumonakamachi, Moriguchi City, Osaka Prefecture. The specialty here is the Kuroge Wagyu Beef Kamaage Udon and Tempura with Natural Shrimp. The menu also includes sashimi, tempura, teppanyaki, and desserts. You can enjoy your meal in a relaxed hori-gotatsu seating. Established in March 1977 in Moriguchi City, the main store was relocated to Yagumonakamachi in April 1987. They have expanded to other locations in the area, such as Toriten Bukkake and Kamoudon Men Shokun Yashima in Yagumohigashimachi, and Honkaku Sanuki Udon Yashima in Kadoma City. The signature dishes at the main store are the Kuroge Wagyu Beef Kamaage Udon and Tempura with Natural Shrimp. I ordered the popular Kuroge Wagyu Beef Kamaage Udon with extra noodles. The clear broth brings out the umami of the beef, creating a deep flavor. It's so delicious that you'll want to drink every last drop! Adding an egg enhances the sweetness. The kids' bento Udon comes with salad, fried chicken, frankfurter, french fries, juice, jelly, snack, and a toy of your choice. They also give out candies at the end, which made the kids happy. The restaurant has counter, table, and hori-gotatsu seats, allowing you to enjoy your meal comfortably. It's a popular spot with 58 seats, so even if there's a line, the turnover is quick, resulting in relatively short wait times. Many repeat customers and plenty of benefits for app users. Thank you for reading till the end!

Today's lunch was at Kamayaki Udon Yashima, Moriguchi Honten. I asked to change the broth to kakeudon dashi, and they kindly accommodated my request. Without me saying anything, the tempura came in a separate dish. The tempura is delicious and the shrimp tempura, made with natural shrimp, is excellent. The kakeudon dashi is also good. Is this the flagship store of the Yashima Group? The menu is extensive, so you won't get tired of it even if you go every day. It's a great restaurant for Osaka gourmet lunches. #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #HappyMealPlus #HappyMeal

Visited during Saturday lunchtime. There is a parking lot and the seating area is spacious, so I felt comfortable using the restaurant. There are many affordable set menus available. I ordered the "DeDeZen" set where you can choose from various noodles and rice dishes. It arrived in about 10 minutes. It looked great and the portion size was good. I selected the Kamaage Udon, Inari sushi, tempura, and onsen tamago. The Kamaage Udon had a generous portion and the dipping sauce was not too sweet, it paired well with the soft noodles and was delicious. The Inari sushi was really big. I prefer the fried tofu to be a bit juicier. The tempura was small but crispy, which was nice. Overall, it was a decent udon restaurant with good portion sizes, but nothing extraordinary.

Work at the office in the morning went smoothly! Now it's time for lunch~ On a cold winter day, nothing beats slurping on some piping hot udon noodles! So, I decided to visit "Kamaage Udon Ya-Shima" in Moriguchi for the first time in 3 years. They have a dedicated parking lot, making it easy to access by car. The traditional Japanese-style interior is spacious, with tatami seating available, but since I was alone, I chose a seat at the counter near the entrance. Due to COVID-19 prevention measures, the entrance door was left open, so it might be a bit chilly near the entrance on cold days. I opted for the lunch set which included a mini tempura rice bowl and kitsune udon. The udon had a good balance of chewiness and springiness, and the dashi broth, made without artificial seasonings, had a nice umami flavor that warmed me up from the inside. The tempura was average in my opinion. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit again.

Last night I had udon noodles at a popular udon restaurant in the area. There is a branch at the Sasamoto intersection and another one in Moriguchi. I tried the popular Niku Kamageshi Udon for 1078 yen. The noodles were delicious, but the meat was a bit tough, which was disappointing. It might be hit or miss. If you're interested, you can visit Shimajima Udon Moriguchi Main Store at 1-24-4 Yakumo Nakamachi, Moriguchi City, Osaka.

I'm in Osaka. There is a shop near Muko City, along the Keihan Kitadori Street (Route 155), right near Muko Higashi High School. I had work nearby and asked a local staff member if it was okay to have udon for lunch. I was taken to this shop. The shop has a parking lot on the first floor and the restaurant is on the second floor. There was a disinfectant spray at the entrance due to the current situation, so I sprayed my hands and then entered the shop. The veteran-like staff member showed us to a tatami room. I checked the lunch menu and decided to order the "Tori Tempura Bukkake Set" in a large portion. The service was a bit distant, either due to the current situation or as the default. I expected the food to come out quickly but it actually took some time, about 12-13 minutes. The set came with four large pieces of tempura on top of a large portion of bukkake udon. The tempura was delicious, hot and freshly fried. I started with the tempura and then moved on to the udon. I lightly poured the sauce over the udon and ate it without mixing too much. The noodles had a good texture but felt a bit tired, and the sauce was not to my liking. It was a decent udon but not something I would want to eat again. The mixed rice also had a unique flavor due to the dried fish, which could be divisive in terms of preference. Personally, I didn't like it very much.

In Yagumo-nakamachi, Moriguchi City, there is an udon restaurant called "Kamaage Udon Yashima". Originally founded in March 1977 in Honmachi, Moriguchi City, the restaurant relocated to Yagumo-nakamachi in March 1987, and then to its current location in August 1999. Additionally, there is a nearby restaurant called "Men-sho Yashima" in Yagumo-higashimachi, which also originated in Honmachi, Moriguchi City in 1977. Although these two restaurants are part of the same group, they each have their own main branch. While "Men-sho Yashima" seems to only have its main branch in Yagumo-higashimachi, "Kamaage Udon Yashima" has expanded to have branches in Moriguchi City and Kadoma City. The Kadoma branch of "Kamaage Udon Yashima" is listed as closed on their website, but it actually reopened under the name "Honkaku Sanuki Udon Yashima" a month after closing, as a separate establishment run by a different owner. As for "Men-sho Yashima", it is owned by the brother of the owner of "Kamaage Udon Yashima". I have visited "Men-sho Yashima" before, but this was my first visit to "Kamaage Udon Yashima". The restaurant is located about a 10-minute walk from Moriguchi Station on the Tanimachi Subway Line. There is parking available on the first floor of the building and next to it. I visited the restaurant around 12:30 pm on a Sunday, and there was a decent crowd inside with no wait time. The menu is available on their website, and I managed to capture some of the items. One of the restaurant's specialties is the "Natural Shrimp Tempura Oroshi Bukkake" and the "Black Wagyu Beef Kamaage Udon". Since it was getting hot, I opted for the cold bukkake instead of the hot kamaage. Therefore, I ordered the "Natural Shrimp Tempura Oroshi Bukkake" in a large size! The dish included shrimp tempura, pumpkin, green beans, seaweed, chopped seaweed, green onions, bonito flakes, lemon, grated radish, ginger, fish cake, and kaiware radish, among other ingredients. The udon noodles were slightly flat and thick, with a chewy and slightly soft texture. The broth was made with dashi, Hokkaido kelp, Rausu kelp, and bonito from Makurazaki, Kagoshima. It had a subtly sweet and mellow flavor with a prominent bonito aroma, offering a refreshing and gentle taste. The tempura was crispy and freshly fried, with plump and light batter. The shrimp tempura was a standard size, while the other tempura pieces were slightly smaller. I found the style of the broth and noodles to be similar to what I had at "Men-sho Yashima", but personally, I preferred the one from "Men-sho Yashima". I look forward to visiting "Honkaku Sanuki Udon Yashima" next time! Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited a popular udon restaurant with multiple locations in Kadoma and Moriguchi. I arrived before 1 o'clock and walked up the stairs to find a cozy Japanese-style interior with a hidden kitchen on the left, a counter with three seats in an L-shape in front, table seating on the right, and several sunken kotatsu tables in the back. The place was run by a few staff members, both male and female. I ordered the daily special, which was "Niku Tōji Udon & Mini Kayaku". The thick udon noodles had a square cross-section and were firm and chewy, with a rich and flavorful broth made with bonito, kombu, and a hint of beaten egg, enhancing the taste of the beef. It was a stable and satisfying dish. The kayaku rice was elegantly prepared and went well with the pickles. I finished my meal feeling a bit light; I should have opted for the free extra-large portion! The service was good, and overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. From my perspective, the prices were displayed without tax, there were no wheelchair-accessible facilities, a washlet was available in the back left, and there is parking for about 10 cars on the 1st floor of the building and next to the restaurant.

TokuToku Zanage Udon: 880 yen (excluding tax) Udon: 3.3 points... The noodles are medium thick with a good texture, not too slippery but fluffy. Broth: 4.0 points... The bonito broth was rich and very delicious. Mixed rice: 3.3 points Payment is cash only. There is parking space for 10 cars.

I wanted something light, so I had the Ume Waka Udon. My stomach must be sensitive. There was cold tea on the table, free refills. The udon had a good chewiness, not too soft, just right. Very delicious, you can tell it's hand-made. It had a nice big pickled plum on top. The seaweed was fresh and the green onions were refreshing. Of course, the broth was tasty too. Tempura and mixed rice were also delicious. I knew that already. I had the Kamaage Udon before and it was delicious. The menu is really extensive, with plenty of options for drinks and snacks. The atmosphere was nice, with instrumental J-POP playing in the background. The chef was handsome, with a name that reminded me of Kabuki. Thank you for the meal.

I also visited this restaurant by searching on Tabelog while out and about. We arrived at 12:30 on a Sunday and were lucky to only have to wait a little bit before being seated. The seating options were tables or a sunken kotatsu-style seating area, and we were led to the sunken area. The menu was extensive, making it hard to choose. For starters, my friend ordered the tempura and kitsune udon, I ordered the mini bowl (scallion and toro rice bowl) with chicken tempura curry set, and another friend ordered the curry and fried chicken set with udon. I have a bad habit of always ordering curry udon at udon restaurants without trying the recommended dishes. Oh well. Now, onto the taste... The udon was soft yet had a good chewiness, which I appreciated as I'm not a fan of overly chewy noodles. The curry broth was light, so I didn't feel heavy afterwards, which was great. Most importantly, the chicken tempura was tender and crispy, and incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back for more. Next time, I'll try the special meat tempura bukkake udon!

I had to go to Moriguchi for work and was recommended to visit this restaurant by a local. I drove there, so it was convenient to have a parking lot. I ordered the chicken tempura udon, which was recommended. Personally, I like the amount of tempura batter and the crispiness of the tempura, as well as the chewy noodles. I enjoyed the meal very much. The staff, especially a very friendly woman, provided excellent service and I was very satisfied.

I go to this restaurant at least once a month. A common local review is that the "curry udon" is a must-try after eating and drinking. It's a great place for families as they have both tatami and table seating, and a variety of delicious dishes for both cold and warm seasons. You can enjoy a hearty set meal or go for sweet and spicy chicken wings and tempura when you're just having drinks. The tempura is so good that you can also order it separately! However, it's a bit on the pricier side for the Yagumo area, so I hope they can lower the prices a bit. I try to use the restaurant's app coupons to stay within my budget. The manager is friendly and the staff are very attentive, making it a comfortable place to dine. Looking forward to visiting again!
