The Birthplace of Kamatama Udon: Savor the Original at a Garden-Like Outdoor Seating Area
About this spot
A renowned establishment in a small village in Ayagawa Town, famous nationwide as the birthplace of kamatama udon. 'Kamatama'—piping-hot fresh noodles from the boiling pot tossed with raw egg and drizzled with the shop's special dashi soy sauce—showcases the original's incomparable deliciousness, where the egg's silky richness intertwines with the noodles' powerful chew. Pick up your bowl at the sales counter and head to the lush, garden-like outdoor seating. Slurping your udon beneath dappled sunlight is a moment of bliss worth standing in line for. Exclusive menu items like 'kamatama-yama' (topped with mountain potato) are served only here.
Tips
A spacious parking lot is located behind the shop. As a popular establishment, queues often form before opening, so bring a hat to shield from the sun. Decide on your order while waiting in line for a smoother experience. Since operations end in early afternoon, a morning visit is essential.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 45 minutes. Lines form even shortly after opening, so arriving early in the morning is the surest bet.
