What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A prestigious Kyoto udon institution located across from Yamamotomenzou. Established in the 1940s, known for its characteristically sweet Kyoto-style dashi. The fluffy egg-drop udon is the signature dish, described as an 'elegant taste of Kyoto'. Many regulars visit both this shop and Yamamotomenzou in one trip.

Reviewers note: 'A different vector of deliciousness from Yamamotomenzou', 'The place to experience Kyoto dashi', 'The elegant sweetness of the broth is sublime'. Tabelog Udon Top 100 selection.
