The bukkake sauce and chewy udon are amazing! I arrived around 11:30 on a weekday. I bought tickets from the ticket machine in front of the shop and went inside without waiting. There were 6 counter seats. I ordered the Gobo Tempura Bukkake and Chicken Tempura separately. My companion ordered the Chicken Tempura Bukkake in a large size with extra rice. As mentioned in other reviews, the bukkake sauce was rich and delicious until the last bite. Even when mixed with grated daikon, the flavor remained delicious throughout. It was the best! The size of the chicken tempura was a bit small, but it was easy to eat. The Gobo tempura was slightly sweet and crunchy until the end, without feeling heavy. It might be because it's bukkake style and not soaking in the sauce. It was really delicious. I wish there was a place like this nearby... I would like to try something warm next time. Thank you for the meal!

Shimada Seimenjo has changed its business model to an udon restaurant? I found out about it on Instagram, so I went to eat right away. When I parked at the nearby parking lot, I received a discount coin. I parked my car and headed into the store, but there was a ticket machine next to the entrance. I looked at the menu and decided to go with this limited edition dish: 10 servings limited Tempura Bukkake Udon + mixed rice set, tax included 1,000 yen. The noodles were topped with eggplant tempura, shiitake mushroom tempura, shrimp tempura, shiso leaf tempura, chicken breast tempura, paprika, fresh wakame seaweed, grated daikon radish, green onions, and bonito flakes, among other things, making it so full of toppings that you couldn't see the noodles. When I tried the tempura first, the batter was quite hard and crispy. The texture wasn't great, but because the batter was hard, it didn't absorb the broth easily and didn't get soggy, so it might be a good thing. So, it might be okay for tempura to be this hard when added to udon. There are various tempura options, so you can enjoy them. The noodles were a bit thin, but had a good firm texture. Even though they were thin, they had a strong chewiness and a good flexibility, making them good noodles. The broth that accompanied them had a fairly strong umami flavor and was delicious. I think the broth for bukkake udon should be stronger than regular udon broth and should have a punch to it. Otherwise, the boundary between soup udon and bukkake udon becomes blurred. Lastly, the mixed rice was also well seasoned and quite tasty. Since the tempura batter is hard, it's good to dip it in the rich broth before eating. Both the noodles and the broth were delicious, and it was a satisfying lunch. Thanks for the meal~!

On Sunday night, I visited without having to wait in line. I tried the tempura and meat udon, tempura bukkake, mushroom tempura, and chikuwa tempura. The warm udon with delicious broth is recommended. The bukkake was average, the tempura was crispy but the oil was heavy. There are condiments like yuzu pepper, shichimi, ichimi, but I wonder if there is no salt? The tempura flavor is light so I wanted some salt.

Shimada Honki Udon has opened on the site of Shimada Seimen Shokudo. Finally, Shimayan is taking on the challenge of making udon! It is unclear whether it is a directly operated store or a franchise. There is a ticket machine at the entrance. The most popular dish is the Goboten Niku Udon with side dish rice set for 1130 yen. The visual presentation is impressive, with a huge Goboten. The soup is delicious, with a strong bonito and anchovy dashi flavor, combined with the umami and sweetness of the meat. The udon noodles are thinner than Sanuki udon, with a slight chewiness and a good throat sensation. The Goboten is crunchy and satisfying, without being too heavy. The quality of the meat is excellent, and the side dish rice with burdock is also flavorful. Overall, despite the price being over 1000 yen, it was very satisfying. I have been to several ramen shops in the Shimayan series, but this was the best so far. I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely try other Shimayan-related shops in the future. Additionally, the affiliated parking lot nearby provides a free 1-hour coin if you show the proof of use. Enjoyed the meal!

Originally, it was a ramen stall called "Shimada Seimenjo," but at some point, the ramen shop moved next door, and I visited it the other day. It was delicious in its own right (the name of the shop had changed to Shimada Seimen Shokudo). This time, I noticed that the original location had been taken over by an udon shop, so I decided to visit. The interior of the stall-style shop hasn't changed much, with counter and table seating available. My companion and I purchased our orders from the ticket machine. We got the Shimada Serious Udon with a focus on chicken tempura, and the signature menu item, Gobo Tempura Meat Udon. The chicken tempura was large and crispy. The cold udon had good firmness while still being soft. The Gobo tempura was huge! It was so much that I thought I might get heartburn, but I dipped it in the broth and enjoyed eating it. Also, the warm udon broth was of a pretty high standard. It's a bit of a difficult place to get to without a car, but it was bustling during lunchtime.

Hello. I visited a restaurant run by the older brother of the YouTuber "Shimayan", who is also active as a YouTuber. The atmosphere of the place gives off a vibe of Hakata udon, which made me even more curious. The place is beautifully designed. I tried the Gobo Tempura Niku Udon. The presentation was amazing. The Koyaku Gohan (seasoned rice) was also delicious. Yuzu pepper was served as a default. The ginger oil was great. I enjoyed the meal heartily. The price may be a bit high, over 1,000 yen, for this area, but I am looking forward to what they offer in the future. Thank you for the meal. See you later.

In 2023, at the site of the former "Shimada Seimen Shokudo Sohonten," the brother of the owner opened an udon restaurant called "Shimada Honki Udon" in Osaka, Toyonaka City, Okamachi. The broth is so rich that it's almost vulgar, similar to "Tengoku Udon" and "Yamashita Honki Udon." The specialty seems to be the "Gobo Tempura Niku Udon" and "Honki Niku Udon." I ordered the Toriten Bukkake for 830 yen, but the portion looked small due to the large bowl. The noodles seemed thin and firm, which I personally prefer a bit thicker and chewier for bukkake udon.
