🍜 Udon OKA泉

Kagawa Prefecture, known as the home of udon noodles, has countless famous Sanuki udon shops. One of the local favorites in Kagawa is the highly popular "OKA泉." The most popular dish at this restaurant is the registered trademarked "Double Shrimp Grated Daikon Cold Udon" (Japanese: ひや天おろし). The cold udon, chilled with ice water, is topped with two tempura shrimp that are so large they overflow the bowl. Not only does it look incredibly luxurious, but it also tastes amazing. The cold, chewy noodles paired with the crispy tempura, along with a perfectly balanced sweet and salty sauce, create an exceptional combination. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavor even more, making it irresistible. Additionally, the classic menu items like "Nama Shoyu Cold Udon" and "Kamaage Udon" allow you to fully enjoy the unique chewy texture of Sanuki udon. OKA泉 is a must-visit for udon lovers. Creative dishes like "Meat Cold Udon" and "Nabeyaki Udon," available all year round, are also worth trying.

At this popular local restaurant, be mentally prepared to wait in a long line before you go. The most popular dish is the luxurious registered trademark version of Sanuki Udon, "Double Shrimp and Grated Daikon Cold Udon." There is a wide variety of menu options available, from classic dishes to seasonal specials. Unlike most Sanuki Udon shops that use a self-service style, the staff provides attentive and thoughtful service to guests. The interior features elegant Japanese-style decor, making it very popular among foreign travelers.
