Kamaage Udon Chibuneya
A gem using 100% domestic wheat, nigari and soft water for handmade noodles. Firm udon and freshly-fried tempura are exceptional. Warm atmosphere with all-female staff. Tabelog Udon WEST Top 100 (2024). TripAdvisor Itami #7. 5 min walk from Hankyu Itami Station. Previously located in Kitano, now moved to Chuo 5-chome.
