Sanukiudon Byakuan

Bringing a taste of Kagawa Prefecture to the center of Osaka City, Sanukiudon Byakuan is the place to go for authentic sanuki noodles — a firm and chewy style of udon which makes for an immensely satisfying meal even by itself. If you love udon, you have to treat yourself to some of these noodles. After you’ve tried the al-dente sanuki style, regular udon will seem flavorless in comparison. The standard set includes the udon dashi soup — made from a blend of kelp, sardines, and bonito flakes — alongside various pieces of tempura, which is very reasonably priced at around 1000 yen. It’s no wonder that the Michelin Guide lists Sanukiudon Byakuan as Bib Gourmand, meaning that it’s among the best value-for-money restaurants in the whole city.
