Fake reviews removed

Opened August 2019. Run by a chef who trained at 'Shoji,' a renowned Musashino udon restaurant in Kawashima, Saitama—this is one of the rare Musashino udon specialists in Kawaguchi. Uses whole-grain flour ground fresh daily on a millstone; everything is made and boiled to order. From day one, local gourmet sites reported 'daily queues with full house,' and Yahoo News featured it as 'a queue-required popular spot.' Tabelog 3.61, 170 reviews; Yahoo Maps 4.24. Regulars say the large-portion nikujiru udon is 'illegal at this price.' Tempura is homemade and perfectly crispy. One of the few authentic Musashino udon restaurants in Kawaguchi.

"Queues from day one of opening. I had no idea Kawaguchi had such authentic udon." "The extra-large nikujiru udon—firm chewy texture, silky smooth—at this price is insane." "Tempura is homemade and perfectly crispy. Rare to find this quality at a udon shop." "I come every week. This has become a new landmark of Kawaguchi."
