Junteuchi Udon Katsuichi
Family-run Sanuki udon shop in the Yoshiki district of Yamaguchi City. Noodles hand-kneaded and pounded daily have exceptional chewiness. Self-service style: choose tempura first, then receive freshly-cooked udon. Selected for Tabelog Udon Top 100 in 2018, 2019, and West Japan 2020.
Many say 'I can't believe how good this is for the price.' All tempura is 100 yen and crispy. Noodles are purely hand-made—no machines—with firm chewiness rivaling authentic Kagawa soba. Lunch only, sometimes sells out early.
