Over 50 years of history.
Multiple media describe it as 'one of Nara's finest udon restaurants.' 30-minute queues on holidays.
Regulars post 'I visit every time I return home' and 'I always order the Ojiya udon.' Gojo City is a small municipality, so the 50-review threshold exception applies.
Good value (1000-1999 yen) with strong local ties.
Takeout available.
