Daily set menu: Udon and mini katsudon set for ¥980 including tax. You can choose from kake, bukkake, zaru, kamaage, or nama shoyu broth for the udon. This time, I chose kake. The udon noodles were chewy and soaked in flavorful broth. Delicious! The mini katsudon was just the right size and very tasty. The fried egg and green onions were served on the side for you to add as you like.

When I ate at this restaurant in Wadayama, I was really impressed by how delicious the udon was, about two weeks ago. While driving through Fukuchiyama, I spotted a sign. Oh, it's the same name and it's a Sanuki udon shop, so I went in. It was a little after one o'clock on Monday. The inside of the restaurant was about half full. The menu was indeed the same as before. In Wadayama, I had ordered a mini tori ten-don and udon, but today I ordered the daily special set of mini katsu-don and udon. It arrived in about five minutes. The mini katsu-don had a rich flavor with the egg topping. The katsu was probably pre-fried. There was a smell of oil... and the bowl was small and a bit difficult to eat from. I topped the udon with green onions and tenkasu and took a bite. It wasn't bad, but it didn't have the same impact as in Wadayama. Perhaps the lack of customers also had an influence. I still want to come back next time, but I'm not sure. Thank you for the meal.

Sannomiya Udon is neither Sanuki Udon nor Osaka Udon. It's slightly more complex than Osaka Udon, without the strong chewiness of Sanuki Udon. The thickness of the noodles is like Osaka Udon. It's easy to eat. Personally, I think having a distinctive feature can divide preferences, but having a subtle feature can lead to price competition. It would be nice to have something unique that can only be found here. This is just my personal opinion. I had the Toriten Bukkake Udon, with a choice of broth, and it came with rice for 1150 yen (tax included). Thank you for the meal.

On January 15th, Reiwa 5 (Sunday), I visited Fukuchiyama for the first time in 7 months. My purpose was to feel the spirit of Fukuchiyama Castle, or rather, the soul of Akechi Mitsuhide. When I look at the tower and stone walls that are said to contain the spirit of Akechi, I suddenly awaken and feel refreshed, realizing the public and private order of Akechi that has been distorted in the world. A loyal and excellent salaryman who faithfully follows the insane orders of Nobunaga, Akechi! He was like a branch manager in today's terms, possessing rich culture and being a skilled gunner. Initially the number one retainer of the Oda clan, unlike the womanizing Hideyoshi, he was an unusually principled man who disliked concubines. However, at some point he was surpassed by Hideyoshi and in his haste, he declared at a linked verse meeting, "Now is the time, the rain falls in May!" Time refers to Akechi's origins in the "Toki" clan, and the rain is a play on "Ten" (heaven), right? And so he strategically headed to Honnoji, was it truly an unstoppable instinct of his? With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I walked around Fukuchiyama Castle town for about an hour. And what I found was a shop called "Washin" that perfectly fit the words my heart was seeking! Of course, both my wife and I eagerly entered the shop! Our order consisted of: Oden (Daikon) - 120 yen, Tempura (Burdock) - 120 yen, Thick Fried Tofu - 120 yen, Konjac - 120 yen, Tempura Assortment - 990 yen, Zaru Udon - 580 yen, Kamameshi Udon - 580 yen, Draft Beer - 590 yen, Imo Shochu with Hot Water - 460 yen x 2. The standout dish of the day was the Zaru Udon! When my wife ordered it, I wondered why she didn't choose the hot udon, but when it was served and I tried to pick up the udon with my chopsticks, it bounced like a rubber ball and was hard to grasp. The smooth noodles danced with a firm texture! It was the first time in my life that I thought cold zaru udon was delicious. So we also ordered the warm Kamameshi Udon! This was also delicious, but it was no match for the zaru udon! We also ordered the Tempura Assortment, but we didn't realize it contained quail tempura until it was served. Both my wife and I, regretfully, left it uneaten. Perhaps a tempura assortment without quail tempura would have been better? The oden, being an udon shop, had a delicious broth that paired well with the full cup of shochu with hot water. This review may differ from the reviewer's evaluation on this site, but please forgive me in light of Akechi's words, "Now is the time." Thank you for the meal.

I enjoyed delicious udon noodles under Fukuchiyama Castle. This was my second visit to Fukuchiyama Castle. Before exploring the castle, we had lunch. After searching for about an hour around the station, we found a place called Washin. It had a comforting menu, so we decided to go in. I ordered the zaru udon for 580 yen and a draft beer for 590 yen. My husband ordered a sweet potato shochu hot water split for 460 yen. Our friends ordered oden (daikon radish, konjac, burdock tempura, thick fried tofu) for 120 yen each and a mixed tempura for 990 yen. The smooth and chewy zaru udon was amazing. We also tried the kama-age udon for 580 yen. The difference in noodle handling gave each dish a unique depth of flavor. It was a comforting meal. We also enjoyed the oden and tempura. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Located on Oshiro Street, also known as Route 55, off National Route 9, this restaurant is easily visible as it is situated within the premises of a pachinko parlor. Across the street from Nakau, the restaurant has around seven parking spaces around it, making it convenient for those arriving by car. Previously a café, the establishment has now transformed into this restaurant, which is a branch of the main store in Wadayama, with another branch in Fukuchiyama. Inside, the layout has changed completely, with single seating on the right side, two tables for six separated by partitions, and regular tables on the left. The menu is similar to the main store's offerings, with prices having increased by about 10% since two years ago. When ordering the cold noodles, they arrived within a minute. The noodles were thinner than usual, and upon trying them, they were quite firm, lacking the usual chewy texture. The dipping sauce was slightly sweet, and the green onions were dry and lacked flavor. Despite this, the meal was finished with the addition of complimentary tempura flakes. Overall, while the restaurant is a welcome addition to Fukuchiyama, the noodles seemed to be pre-cooked and served in smaller portions compared to the main store, making it similar to a chain restaurant experience.
