I have been going to this shop since I was young. The gentle taste of the dashi may be divisive, but even as an amateur, I can feel the umami of the dashi ingredients. The sweet simmered tofu is also a fantastic dish. And as a side dish, they serve inari sushi. Although it's all fried, I always end up ordering this set because I now live a little further away. By the way, the fried chicken at this shop is quite unique. It has a taste similar to chicken tempura, but it's a delicious flavor that becomes addictive. Since it's located along the national highway, if you happen to pass by, please give it a try.

Parent and child bowl set 980 yen. Both the parent and child bowl and udon had a gentle and nostalgic taste. The parent and child bowl had perfectly runny eggs. It felt like the atmosphere of making parent and child bowl at home. After 12 o'clock, customers kept coming in one after another, and the parking lot was almost full.

Had lunch near the Minamiyamashiro Ohashi Bridge at Kohroan in Kyoto. The udon broth was gentle and delicious, a true taste of Kyoto that is popular among those who prefer milder flavors. The oyakodon is also delicious, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavors of the ingredients. Children might find it a bit bland, but for those who enjoy that, it is an irresistible taste. Adults will be satisfied and it was really delicious. Especially the udon was excellent. Thank you for the meal!

This week I had a long-term project in Kyoto. Originally, I was just going to check the site and head back home, but the progress was slow so I ended up staying for a few days. During my time there, I visited a restaurant for lunch a few times. I arrived around 11:30, just before the peak lunch hour. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere, reminiscent of a cafe. They had a decent amount of parking, but the road in front of the restaurant was quite busy with traffic, so you had to be careful when coming in and out. On this particular hot day, I ordered the "zaru udon (large) for 590 yen + 100 yen for extra noodles". I had also tried their "chicken katsu set for 980 yen" before, which was quite filling. The set comes with a mini soba noodles, which I also recommend for its good value. However, my favorite is simply the "zaru udon" (#^^#). The cold, slippery noodles with a firm texture were delicious. The dipping sauce had just the right amount of sweetness, which I personally enjoy. Despite not being a specialty udon shop, the satisfaction level was quite high. Even though I always ordered the large portion, I still found myself wanting more. It might be better to go for the set if you have a big appetite. After 12 o'clock, the restaurant was packed with locals. It's definitely a popular spot. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

During the spring equinox, we visited the grave with my daughter. We wanted to have udon for lunch, but the first two places we tried were closed. We ended up at a crowded restaurant just before 1:00 pm. The atmosphere was like a family restaurant, and we ordered udon, tempura udon, and katsu don. The udon was decent and we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is usually busy with work vehicles, but we had a good experience. Thank you for the meal!

On the way back from Kyoto, I always pass by a udon restaurant that caught my eye. I thought they only served udon since there was a sign for it, but they also had a variety of fried dishes and Western food. I was intrigued by the shrimp tempura, but I decided to try the hot shrimp tempura udon. It came with sweet seasoned shiitake mushrooms, slightly sweet meat, green onions, fish cakes, and fried tofu. The udon was chewy and delicious, and I slurped it all up. Next time, I'll try their Western dishes!

I visited this place on a weekday evening. I parked my car in the spacious parking lot and entered around 4 pm. It was quiet and relaxed inside because the place was pretty much empty. I sat at a table with a good view of Route 307, which I used to drive on frequently about 25 years ago. I ordered the "karaage set meal" with extra udon. It took about 8 minutes for the food to be served. The karaage was on the smaller side, more like chicken tempura, but the total amount was quite generous. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the crispy coating paired well with the rice. The udon was thick and chewy, with a smooth and springy texture. The slightly sweet broth was refreshing and delicious, with a nice touch of tempura flakes adding to the Kansai-style udon broth. I couldn't help but finish every last drop. For a restaurant along a major road like this, the portion size was quite satisfying. The restaurant has been around for a long time, as indicated by the "Since 1987" on the chopstick wrapper. It brought back memories of driving on Route 307 in the past. The nostalgic drive-in atmosphere was quite charming, and I look forward to coming back next time to try their curry udon, which is one of my favorite dishes. Thank you for the meal!

On March 15th, for lunch, we visited "Korokuan". It was a weekday visit and there were working people, families, and elderly groups, a variety of people coming in! It seems like a shop loved by the local community! Our orders were as follows (all prices include tax): - Son: Zaru Udon Regular: 540 yen Large size: 810 yen (large size price is based on Zaru Soba large size) - Wife: Ebi Fry and Hamburg set meal: 1,450 yen - Myself: Medium-sized bottled beer: 540 yen Fish Fry set meal: 870 yen Overall, it is reasonably priced! The menu is also varied, with everything available besides Chinese food! - The son really enjoyed the Zaru Udon in large size, it was delicious! - The Ebi Fry was crispy and the Hamburg was good too. We shared a bit and it seemed like they were not made in the shop. - The bottled beer was Asahi Super Dry. Ahh, it's delicious to drink during the day! - The Fish Fry in the set meal was crispy and tasty! Squeezing lemon on it was perfect! The tartar sauce might be commercial, though. The side dish was simmered hijiki. The meal was quite filling too! The best part of this meal was the Udon that came with the set meal! It was just simple Kake Udon with Tenkasu, but the broth was incredibly delicious! The noodles were great too! I finished the broth completely! Next time, I want to enjoy the broth with Udon! Thank you for the meal!

I visited this restaurant after a long time. This place not only serves Western-style dishes, but also has quite delicious udon. The broth for the udon is especially tasty. So, I ordered: - Nabeyaki Udon: 1000 yen (tax included) This dish is not available from May to September, which makes sense because nabeyaki udon is something you eat in cold weather. It comes with one shrimp tempura, shiitake mushroom, two slices of kamaboko, enoki mushrooms, half boiled egg, green onions, and more. The udon noodles are soft and chewy, and they go down smoothly. The broth, which is already well-known, has a rich flavor from the ingredients, making it very delicious. It was served piping hot, so I blew on it before eating. My companion ordered: - Ebi Fry (Shrimp Fry): 850 yen (tax included) - Rice: 250 yen (tax included) Although there is an option for "Ebi Fry Set: 1020 yen (tax included)" which includes udon, my companion thought it might be too much, so they ordered the items separately. The shrimp fry comes with four headless shrimp. It is crispy with a thin coating. The shrimp tempura in the nabeyaki udon also had a thin coating, but that highlights the taste of the shrimp! The shrimp was crispy, juicy, and delicious. There is plenty of tartar sauce under the shrimp fry, so no need to worry. The restaurant has parking in front and on the side. The side parking lot is unpaved, but it might be easier to park there. Overall, we enjoyed our meal very much. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited this restaurant. It is located along National Route 307 and has a distinctive light blue exterior. It has been around for quite some time. I arrived at 1:40 pm feeling very hungry. There were 4 customers before me and 4 customers after me. The atmosphere has a nostalgic Showa era feel. The bright interior has a kitchen that is not visible from the entrance, and there are many small and large box table seats but no counter seats. The place is run by a group of veteran men and women, giving off a family-like vibe. The menu includes udon, soba, rice bowls, fried dishes, and drinks. The sign outside mentions hand-made noodles, so there are many set menu options with udon. I ordered the "Katsu Don Set" which comes with a small udon. It arrived after a while. The katsu don consists of thickly breaded tonkatsu with a soft and gooey egg on top, with a classic flavor. The portion size was generous. The udon was a medium-thick type with a good chewy texture. The clear broth had a strong flavor that warmed my empty stomach. The crispy tempura bits floating on top seemed homemade and added a nice crunch. Along with delicious pickles, I finished the meal in no time. The strong wind and cold had made me tired, but thanks to the meal, I felt rejuvenated. In this area, despite the heavy traffic, there are few places to eat, so this restaurant is quite convenient. The service was good. Thank you for the meal. Personal notes: Not wheelchair accessible, traditional Japanese seating in the middle, and there are a few parking spaces in front and on the side of the restaurant.

I went for lunch on a regular day. There aren't many shops in the area, so it's convenient that there is a garage. Inside the shop, it has a cafe-like atmosphere, but they also serve udon and set meals. I sat at a table and ordered the fish fry set meal for 850 yen. With udon, rice, and the main dish of fish fry, it was enough. This price will fill you up.

It gets crowded even before noon on weekdays.

I finally made it to Kizugawa city by car on Route 163, taking the scenic route through Shigaraki on the way back. I had planned to have soba in Shigaraki, but it was so popular that I couldn't find parking and had to give up. It used to be my grandpa's favorite driving route back in the day, and it was never crowded like this. I checked on Tabelog and it had high ratings. I decided to pass and found this udon restaurant instead. They also serve coffee and cake during the day. I had the cold udon with tempura and grated radish for 880 yen. The udon was really good and came with toppings like mountain vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, and more. It was a feast. Thank you for the meal!

I went to a restaurant called Koryuan near my workplace! I already knew that their shrimp fry is delicious. I wanted to try their hamburger too, but this place is actually an udon restaurant. The udon that comes with the set meal is really tasty! It has green onions and tempura crumbs, which makes it really delicious! The hamburger I wanted to try was just okay. But the potato salad and simmered hijiki were also delicious! Udon is great, but everything at Koryuan is delicious! Thank you for the meal!
