A 12-seat udon shop that never pre-cuts or pre-boils: the noodles are cut and cooked only when you order, so even after you sit down it's 10–15 minutes, but they spring back when you bite. Many diners order the hot soy udon with butter, black pepper, an onsen egg and mentaiko; the cold udon with a tempura platter is the other favourite. Six times in Tabelog's udon Top 100.
