Enjoy Authentic Sanuki Udon Lunch in the Katahara Area, Takamatsu's Kitchen
About this spot
Near Takamatsu Station, the Katahara and Nishiki town area is where numerous Sanuki udon restaurants frequented by locals are concentrated. Many Sanuki udon restaurants feature self-service style, where you select your own toppings like tempura—the authentic way to enjoy them. The simple deliciousness of chewy noodles and flavorful broth can only be experienced in the authentic hometown setting. Most restaurants offer mild, easy-to-eat flavors suitable for children, making them perfect for family lunches. Since you'll be eating at food stalls or in the crowded venue in the evening and beyond, eating heartily during this time is a wise choice.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否はさぬき高松まつり公式の発表で当日確認を。終了後はJR高松駅・ことでん高松築港駅周辺が大変混雑します。帰りの電車・バスの時刻は事前に調べておき、混雑が落ち着く終了後30〜40分後を目安に移動すると比較的スムーズです。足元が暗い場所もあるため、スマートフォンのライトを活用して安全に移動しましょう。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
About 10-minute walk from Tamamo Park. At self-service udon shops, you carry a tray and line up, so if you're a first-timer, check the flow at the register before joining the queue for a smooth experience. Sanuki udon portions can be small at some shops, so consider adding tempura or rice balls for better satiety. Plan to eat a substantial lunch anticipating a lighter dinner before the fireworks.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. The 1 PM hour is when the lunch peak begins to wind down, offering relatively shorter wait times.
