What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1974, this miso nikomi udon specialist uses 100% soybean miso with mirin as a secret ingredient. Handmade noodles with a chewy texture paired with a deeply rich broth. Many loyal customers travel from afar; the second-generation owner maintains the original recipe. Has been listed in Michelin.

Locals say 'worth the trip from far away' and 'the same authentic taste as the founder's era.' Yahoo 3.91/109, Tabelog 3.59/719—consistently high. Reviews confirmed through April 2026, confirming ongoing operation.
