Suzaki Shokuryohinten
An extremely popular udon shop in Mitoyo City, Kagawa. True to its name 'food store,' customers pick up noodles warehouse-style in a self-service format. Famous for its unusually firm, thick noodles; regulars often come back for multiple bowls in one visit. Tabelog Udon 100 Shops 2024 winner and 2026 Bronze Award recipient. Often sells out in the morning—arrive right at opening at 9:00 AM.
Reviews highlight 'no other noodle has this texture,' 'worth lining up from early morning,' and 'a long-beloved local hidden gem.' Tabelog 4.25/1,963 reviews (Udon 100 Shops 2024, 2026 Bronze). TripAdvisor highly rated. Operating calendar updated April 2026.
