Hizen Udon Sho
A renowned Hizen udon shop founded in 1991, located on Route 207 in Nishitashiro, Saga City. The signature 'gobou ten udon'—with a massive burdock tempura overflowing the bowl—was featured on the TV variety show 'Omouma no Mise' (aired December 2025). 497 Google reviews at 4.0 stars. Known for homemade flat noodles and additive-free dashi made from Rausu kombu and four types of dried fish. Strong local following due to generous portions at low prices—said to be a shop no Saga resident is unaware of.
'The burdock tempura overflows the bowl. Shocking volume for 740 yen.' 'Lines formed after the TV show, but it's still mostly locals.' 'The dashi is refined and unchanged for years—over 30 years of quality.' 'I bring my family here often. The kids love it too.'
