Kakimaze Nara Udon Fukutoku
A traditional Nara udon shop in front of Naramachi Center, east of Sarusawa Pond. Famous for kakimaze udon, inheriting the taste of the beloved Fukusuke in the old Nara market. The salt-free noodles made in-house have a unique chewy texture, topped with bonito broth, green onions and chopped ingredients. The chikuwa tempura is also highly regarded.
Called a model example of what Nara udon is all about. Enjoyed by both locals and tourists. Homemade tofu also highly praised. Lunch service only, recommended to arrive early.
