The udon artisans strictly adhere to traditional noodle-making steps such as "stepping on the dough," "kneading and pushing the dough," and "hand-rolling the noodles," enabling customers to enjoy not only the delicious food but also the skilled techniques of the artisans. The restaurant carefully adjusts the salt content and water temperature in the noodles according to weather changes, and pays meticulous attention to the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. Local regulars praise Yamada-ya as "always delivering the same great taste no matter when you come."
Typically, udon uses simpler, rustic ingredients. Because of this, the restaurant is particularly discerning in its selection of ingredients, striving for excellence. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including the most representative local delicacy from the Sanuki region, "Shippoku Udon" (Japanese: しっぽくうどん), a hot pot dish featuring udon called "Sanuki Udon SUKI," and a "Udon Kaiseki Meal Set" that allows guests to enjoy accompanying Japanese dishes while tasting the udon.
The restaurant is built on approximately 800 tsubo (about 2,645 square meters) of land, and the building itself has been registered as a tangible cultural property. Guests can enjoy Sanuki udon in a space filled with historical charm. In addition to rooms with tatami seating, there are also outdoor garden seating options. Furthermore, the restaurant offers post-meal coffee and Japanese sweets.
