I visited "Sanku" around 8 am on a weekday, but they had already sold out of their "morning lunch" set. So I went a little further to "Komugiya". I had decided on trying the "katsu-don" next time after my last visit, but I was feeling a bit too hungry for that, and I came to Fukushima to eat udon with tamago kake gohan, so I had their 380 yen breakfast set. It was a luxurious breakfast with delicious udon and tamago kake gohan for only 380 yen. I hope to try their recommended "katsu-don" someday. Thank you for the meal ☆☆☆

Monday to Friday, starting from 7:30 in the morning, they offer a morning service. When I visited around 8 o'clock on a weekday, there were three people seated at the counter enjoying their morning udon. I ordered the udon set for 380 yen, which included kake udon, raw egg, and rice. The udon was "haikara" style, which I was happy about. The broth was light and clear, and the noodles were nice. The rice portion was decent, and I felt like it was a good deal for 380 yen. I also noticed that they offer my favorite katsudon for 500 yen in the morning, so I definitely want to try the "katsudon set" next time. Thank you for the meal. 3.39/5 stars.

I heard that they recently started morning business, so I visited right away. They open at 7:30 am on weekdays. Despite the small appearance from the outside, the interior has a decent depth. It's a counter-only shop with a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, like a traditional Japanese udon restaurant. Across the national highway, there is a famous shop on the south side, but I was also curious about this place! - Udon Set: It includes udon and tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg). The udon noodles are thin and have a smooth texture, making it easy to slurp. The broth is made from Kansai's bonito and kelp, although it feels slightly lacking in flavor. The tamago kake gohan features a very rich yellow yolk, known as Rano Tamago Gohan. It has a slightly sticky texture and a noticeably intense flavor of the yolk. Mixing it with rice enhances the rich taste of the yolk, making it a visually appealing dish. The cost performance is excellent at only 380 yen for this set, making it a great value for the price. The menu is extensive, with various toppings available. Given the location, it seems like a suitable spot for office workers to have lunch. In the early morning, a mother was running the shop alone. It's a nice and calm place. Thank you for the meal. The Udon Set costs 380 yen.

"I feel like having katsudon today" - those days come a few times a month, right? When I searched near my company, I found a udon restaurant. They only have counter seats. It seems crowded around 12 o'clock lunchtime, but the service speed has increased recently, so the turnover rate is faster. Now, onto the main topic. I have been to this restaurant several times, always ordering katsudon, so this time I decided to try the small shrimp bowl (large size) that I had been curious about. A simple bowl with small shrimp fried and wrapped in egg. The shrimp is plump and the seasoning is a bit strong, but it makes the rice go down smoothly. I finished it in a few minutes, had the complimentary pickles, and left. They accept PayPay. One thing that bothered me was that the ventilation fan was not running, so the smell of oil filled the air, and even after returning to the office, the smell of oil lingered. Other than that, there is nothing to complain about. It was a pleasant afternoon that made me feel like I'll be having shrimp for a while. Non-smoking establishment."

Using domestically grown wheat and natural dashi, the long-established Osaka Sanuki-style udon restaurant, "Komugiya"! Located about a 5-minute walk north of JR Osaka Loop Line Fukushima Station, the shop is located behind the Kansai Shogi Hall. The interior, with only counter seats like an eel bed, is bustling with energy, with lines forming at lunchtime. The menu is posted overhead, offering various customization options such as small bowls to go with the udon, and small udon to go with the bowls, which is convenient! ☆ Kaki-tama Don (Oyster and Egg Rice Bowl) 820 yen + Onsen Tamago Mini (Soft-Boiled Egg) 180 yen This bowl features three fried oysters made with large oysters from Hiroshima prefecture, a must-try for oyster lovers! The rich taste of the oysters wrapped in a thin batter and the crispy texture of the batter complement each other well! The perfectly half-cooked soft-boiled egg and delicious broth with a strong flavor blend harmoniously, spreading happiness in your mouth when you take a bite of rice. The udon, with slightly soft and chewy noodles, paired with the flavorful broth that warms your stomach, is simply irresistible! From young people who want a hearty meal to seasoned individuals who prefer to enjoy udon peacefully, people of various ages are seen enjoying bowl dishes and udon with various combinations, savoring a brief moment of lunch. With a simple layout of only counter seats inside the shop, it is recommended for solo diners or small groups looking for a quick meal. Thank you for the meal ＼(^o^)／

Today's lunch was the Wagyu beef curry udon (¥800), which had a fantastic aroma of dashi. Just the smell alone when it was placed in front of me was great! It was packed and lively today, with a great atmosphere. The chef at the back of the counter was also very charming (laughs). The ingredients were cooked perfectly and the flavors had seeped in well. There was plenty of sliced Wagyu beef, more than I had imagined. The curry had a well-rounded flavor with no sharp edges, really seeping into your body. The udon had a strong chewiness, with a good bounce when you bite into it, and a sweet taste of wheat. It was a lively atmosphere with lots of people, but it also had a nostalgic feel to it. Thank you for the meal!

☑️ A must-try udon and donburi for business people during their lunch break ☑️ Both are of high quality and served at Small Wheat Style ☑️ The fast turnover rate is one of the attractions ------------------------------------- 【Today's Pick】"Katsu Curry Udon" I couldn't decide between curry udon and katsu donburi, so I ordered both. The curry soup was delicious with a strong dashi flavor, and the noodles were firm. The quality of the curry udon was quite high. ------------------------------------- 【Today's Dining Experience】 I felt like having udon, so I went around noon and found a line of about 6 people. The turnover was fast, and I was able to enter soon. As you can see in the photos, the menu is very extensive! I resisted the temptation to try everything and opted for the katsu curry udon. The restaurant is generally narrow, with not much space at the counter, both sideways and behind. This may also be a factor in the fast turnover. This time I had udon, but I heard that the donburi is also delicious, so I definitely want to try it next time! Thank you for the meal. ------------------------------------- 【Today's Menu】 ⚫️ Katsu Curry Udon ------------------------------------- 【Today's Restaurant】 ■ Small Wheat (Fukushima) ■ 4-minute walk from Fukushima Station / Closed on Sundays and public holidays / ¥1,020 ■ Food Blog Rating ★★★☆☆ 3.41 ■ Hotaru Log Rating ★★★☆☆ 3.4 ------------------------------------- ◉ Introducing delicious restaurants recommended for people in their 20s and 30s, mainly in Osaka ◉ I'm very happy with follows, likes, comments, saves, etc. ◉ Requests for restaurants or areas are also very welcome #SmallWheat #FukushimaGourmet #FukushimaUdon #FukushimaLunch #HotaruLogLunch #HotaruLogFukushima #HotaruLogUdon #HotaruLogCasualDining #HotaruLogLunchBreak #GourmetInstagram #WantToConnectWithFoodies #TokyoGourmet #OsakaGourmet #FoodieGuys #WalkingFoodBlog #SupportingRestaurants #HotaruLog

Visited on January 4, 2021. Today's lunch was delicious "katsu-don" at "Komugiya," a Japanese-style dashi restaurant near the company. It's a counter-only shop and it's often full during lunchtime, but I was able to visit first because they just opened for the New Year on January 4th and I arrived at 11 am. Although I was thinking of having a rice bowl, I felt like having "curry udon" while looking at the menu, so I ordered "Wagyu beef Japanese curry udon" and "steamed rice." The hot curry broth blends well with the noodles made from a blend of Hokkaido and Ise wheat, aged at low temperature for 48 hours, creating a delicious dish. I tried to eat slowly to avoid splashing the broth, but it's hard to avoid when eating curry udon. Good thing I had a paper apron on (laughs). #Fukushima #udon #Komugiya

The summer heat continues to be sweltering during the day and night even though we have passed the Bon Festival. I decided to visit a restaurant called "Komugiya" in Fukushima, which is close to my workplace. As the name suggests, they mainly serve udon noodles. I ordered the most popular set menu which includes a bowl dish and a mini udon. The top recommendation was the Katsudon, but I chose the second most popular option, the "Small Shrimp Bowl" with cold mini udon. The bowl arrived first, filled with small shrimp and eggs over rice. The shrimp was plump and delicious, but the rice was a bit too hard for my liking. As I ate the udon, I let the rice soak up the broth to soften it. The mini udon was simple, with only chopped green onions as toppings. The noodles were thick and chewy, made from Hokkaido wheat flour. The broth was just right, not too sweet or salty. I wished I had ordered a larger size of udon and a smaller bowl, but I wasn't recommended to do so. After finishing the udon, I went back to the bowl and found that the rice had softened nicely from soaking up the broth. The set cost ¥870. I couldn't help but compare it to the lunch prices in Honmachi.

The katsudon is undeniably delicious. The udon is also good with a firm texture typical of Sanuki udon, but the katsudon with tender egg and flavorful cutlet is the best. It's always crowded during lunchtime, but it's worth the wait. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered a set of katsudon and tamagoyaki, along with cold sudachi udon. It was delicious, but the sudachi udon was simpler compared to other places.

Udon is recommended, especially the vegetable and meat udon. Despite going after the lunchtime peak due to the current situation, the place was packed from the back and empty at the entrance. The male staff at the counter was not wearing a mask while serving, which was very disappointing.

Pork cutlet rice bowl extra large portion

Soy Sauce Udon with Chicken Tempura is a must-try!

I often enjoy delicious chicken cutlet rice bowl. Udon is also delicious, right?

I sometimes go for lunch, but the wait is too long! If I go before 12 o'clock, I have to wait for over 30 minutes. I feel like the turnover is too slow at this restaurant. The katsudon and prawn bowl are delicious though. It's a shame.
