When I visited Amanohashidate Kasa Matsuri Park, I had lunch there! I was curious about this restaurant since I did some research beforehand ⭐️ It is located next to a souvenir shop, with a corner dedicated to an udon restaurant❗️ During the hot season, I would have wanted to try the "zaru udon," but since it was cold, both of us ordered the most popular dish, the "kurochiku" (950 yen). It came with a separate plate of local specialty black chikuwa tempura, mochi tempura, and kashiwa tempura. When it arrived, I was surprised by the generous portion of chikuwa tempura‼️ In conclusion, both the udon and chikuwa tempura were incredibly delicious‼️ The udon had a chewy texture and was really tasty‼️ I understood why this place is so popular‼️ Thank you for the meal ⭐️

After visiting the famous Kago Shrine, I stopped by this shop. The staff was polite and left a good impression. I personally really liked the cute toothpick holder. It's great that they pay attention to even the small details. The divine resides in the details. Now, I ordered the "Sugi tempura soba". The noodles were thick and had a great texture. The tempura was plentiful, with two large shrimp tempura that were perfectly sized. This is a highly recommended place for a meal after visiting Kago Shrine. Thank you for the delicious meal.

12:45 on August 29, 2020 ・ Black chiku bukkake: ¥900 + Large serving: ¥100 ・ Cold kitsune udon: ¥700 + Large serving: ¥100 ・ Bottled beer: ¥600 • I learned about the "Kansai Sanuki Udon Pilgrimage" event, saw the menu for "Tomato Hiyakake," and decided to try it. During my previous visit in 2016, I was surprised by the deliciousness of "Tomato Hiyakake" and later found out from the restaurant's website that the chef had trained at "Oka Izumi," which made sense. • Knowing this, I wanted to try it again before visiting the "Manai Shrine." However, the menu no longer had "Tomato Hiyakake," and when I asked the waitress, she said they no longer served it. Disappointed, I was told they could make "Cold Kitsune" instead, which I happily ordered. • I tried the "Black Chiku Bukkake" made with "Kanehiro's chikuwa," which was praised in the 'Mainichi Shimbun' (January 22, 2017). The tempura included chiku tempura x2, mochi tempura x2, and small chicken tempura x1. Delicious tempura. • The menu was particular about the "kamaage" style as seen on the website. • Due to space constraints, the extra noodles for the large serving of "Cold Kitsune" were served on a separate plate. • Even setting aside my bias towards Miyazu, I think it's a very delicious Sanuki udon shop. • I had "Tanba black soybean tea" for my drink. • The bottled beer was a medium-sized Asahi Super Dry.

Took my mother-in-law to Amanohashidate. Despite the hot weather, we got hungry and happened to find a udon restaurant. The front of the store was slanted, making it difficult to park, but we managed to find a spot. The udon had a nice texture and was perfect for the hot summer. The tempura was also crispy and delicious.

If you're going sightseeing in Amanohashidate, this place is highly recommended. The Sanuki udon with firm and chewy noodles and freshly fried tempura are exquisite.

The udon here is amazing. It's hand-made so it's chewy, and the tempura is delicious too. I always order the special black chikuwa tempura, which is also very tasty! I recommend eating it with bukkake even in winter! I will definitely go back again!

Udon restaurant near Amanohashidate. The udon noodles have a good texture and the tempura chikuwa is crispy! The mochi tempura and chicken tempura are also included, adding a nice touch to the gentle flavors. It was very delicious and I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

I decided to definitely go to Suginoya after seeing the map! The black chikuwa udon was extremely delicious! The tempura was crispy with lots of ingredients and made me happy! I will definitely go again when I come back to Amanohashidate!

The food was average.

After walking across Amanohashidate for a while, I got hungry. I realized I wouldn't make it back in time for the next train, so I decided to eat. I ordered tempura udon, and it was delicious. The tempura was especially good, freshly fried and tasty. I wanted to buy some souvenirs on the way back, but there wasn't anything particularly famous to get.

The restaurant is located near the entrance of Kago Shrine and the entrance of Kasa Matsuri Park. There are about two parking spaces in front of the shop. It is located along the road, but it is very hard to find, so please be careful. I had the large portion of Tempura Udon, while my two companions had Tempura Udon and Cold Kitsune Udon. The large portion was surprising! It was equivalent to about 2 servings. The noodles were shiny and not too firm. They were soft and easy to chew. The broth was a bit light for my taste. I prefer a stronger dashi flavor. The tempura was quite delicious. One of my friends, who is a vegetarian, was very pleased with the Cold Kitsune Udon. Another friend had Tempura Udon and found it quite filling. I also ordered the mixed rice with mushrooms and fried tofu, which had a gentle flavor. It seemed to be cooked with the udon broth, but I wish the dashi flavor was stronger. I'm not sure if it's made locally, but the tempura with shishito peppers was delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

(Added in July 2015) This is the 8th stop on the 4.5th Kansai Sanuki Udon Pilgrimage SUPER HARD edition. It has been over a year and a half since my last visit. Remembering the bitter experience of running out of noodles last time, I called ahead this time to make sure they still had noodles available before visiting. It was all good, so I went straight there. This time, I wanted to focus on the hiyakake style, so I ordered the kitsune hiyakake with a topping of black chikuwa tempura. The kitsune hiyakake had a large piece of fried tofu as its distinctive feature, topped with mizuna and grated ginger. The noodles had a smooth texture and a good throat feel. The slightly darker broth was mild and easy to drink. From the fried tofu, a fairly sweet broth oozed out. It's a bit on the rich side, so it may be a matter of personal preference. The black chikuwa tempura served on the side was really delicious. The texture, with the roughness of the ingredient still present, became crispy and fragrant when cooked. It's a must-try item. ↓↓↓ Previous review ↓↓↓ This shop is located near Kasamatsu Park in Miyazu. You can see a distant view of Amanohashidate from nearby, so the location is quite good. The shop was originally a souvenir shop that had been operating in this area for many years, but it was renovated and a new udon section was added. The young owner actually trained at Kagawa's famous Udon shop, Okazumi. I first learned about this place from a certain Udon blog, and I was really intrigued. In the Tajima and Tango areas, where there are few Udon shops in the Sanuki style, this is the first shop I know of where the owner trained in the hometown of Udon. Furthermore, the summer limited edition tomato bukkake was very innovative, so I wanted to try it and made a mini expedition from Toyooka on my day off. However, when I arrived around 3 p.m. after taking some time, unfortunately, the Udon was already sold out... They were only serving the cafe menu. So, I decided to have a blend coffee (400 yen). Coffee seems to have been served since before the renovation. I don't know about before, but it takes a little time because they brew it with a siphon after ordering. I had it black, and it was easy to drink with not too much bitterness. I wanted to revisit and try the Udon, but couldn't make it while in Toyooka. For now, Udon is still on hold. I would like to try the tomato bukkake and the black chikuwa tempura, a specialty of Miyazu. I will withhold my evaluation until I try the Udon.

We went out on a ZZR and headed to Suginoya in Miyazu City. The weather was comfortable for touring, around 25°C with a chilly breeze. We tried the new tomato udon, but it was a limited-time menu, so we settled for soy sauce udon instead. The noodles were flat and the soy sauce was elegant. After lunch, we strolled around the cape before heading back, but got a bit lost on the way. Overall, a good day out.

We got off the boat and found a souvenir shop with a café nearby. It was a simple café where we ordered coffee for a break. They also had soft serve ice cream, but it was too cold for that. While we were waiting, they introduced us to some souvenirs. They were grilling fish outside for sampling, and we also tried some black beans. My mom ended up buying the fish. I really liked the black beans, a bag cost 550 yen (tax included) and they were large in size with just the right amount of sweetness. I should have bought more bags, I finished them quickly...

I happened to find this restaurant while looking for a place to have lunch, wanting to eat udon or soba. It is located across the road from the former Ise Shrine (Kagura Shrine) and right near the sightseeing boat pier, making it a very easy-to-find location. It was already past 2 PM. When I entered the restaurant with fewer customers after lunchtime, I was immediately asked, "Udon, right?" It seems they prefer to cook the udon freshly boiled, so they wanted to know if I was ordering udon or not. I answered, "Yes, udon." I then ordered the tempura udon. After about 10 minutes of waiting, I thought that since it's a tourist area, the udon served might not be anything special for tourists, but to my surprise... it was delicious! The noodles were slightly thinner than Sanuki udon, but the texture was clearly hand-kneaded. The texture and bite of the noodles were excellent, very delicious. The boiling was also perfect. The tempura included vegetables and 2 large prawns. The prawns were relatively large and had a delicious firm texture. It was completely different from just having a prawn with batter. I believe it was around 950 yen or 1050 yen, around that price range. It was reasonable, or rather, quite a good deal! I was very surprised that I could eat udon of this level in this tourist area. I highly recommend this restaurant.
