Meno-Takumi Izumoan (Udon)
Udon shop directly run by a 110-year-old noodle maker. The signature 'Tamanegi Tsukemen Hana,' featuring a whole deep-fried Awaji onion, has been featured in TV and magazines. Noodles combine Sanuki udon firmness with Osaka udon chewiness. Tabelog 3.56 (647 reviews). Lines form right at opening; 30-minute waits on weekends. TripAdvisor #5 of 345 in Awaji (4.0/5).
Tabelog 3.56 (647 reviews), TripAdvisor 4.0 (#5 in Awaji). 'The onion tsukemen is one of a kind.' 'Worth lining up before opening.' 'Staff is kind and the meal is enjoyable.' Negative reviews mainly about crowds and wait times, rarely about taste.
