Description:
A casual atmosphere and reasonably priced food make this tiny place popular. Vegetable udon (omen) is the specialty, and the house's traditional style is to serve the wheat noodles in a flat wooden bowl, the sauce in a pottery bowl, the vegetables delicately arranged (sushi style) on a handmade platter with a bowl of sesame seeds alongside. You dip and mix yourself, unlike at other udon shops where it all arrives like a stew swimming in one bowl. Tempura, lightly fried tofu, and kamonasu dengaku (fried eggplant topped with a rich miso sauce) are among the other dishes offered. Other branches are located just south of Ginkakuji (tel. 075/771-8994; daily from 11am to 9:30pm), and on Pontocho (tel. 075/253-0377; same hours as the main branch below). There's also one in New York.
