Takegawa Udon - Fujikawaguchiko

The name in english is takekawa udon. the noodles are delicious. it was at 10 a.m. on a Sunday when I arrived. they have an English picture menu with instructions to show. they pay when you eat. the menu is simply large or small udon in broth or with broth on the side. toppings green planks, tofu, seetang, ei and horse meat. I have everything except the flesh. very nice owner busy popular cheap place. you take your shoes off and sit Japanese style. there is a water dispenser they also help themselves. I highly recommend it my udon was delicious, fresh and came very fast.

The udon here is great, thick and chewy. For those who dont eat much should just order the regular bowl instead of large. Portion of udon is alot. Be prepared to finish the side ingredients and left with lots of the udon noodle. Overall taste is great but can be boring for some who craves for many different sides to eat with the udon.

You can see that this noodle restaurant is a favourite among the locals. It is run by a father and son team. The udon noodles served hear are thick and has a nice firm bite to it. Much nicer than your regular udon noodles. The noodles are served in a clear soup which tastes so good that I drank every drop of it, just as the locals did. I found out later from the waitress (who speaks good english) that the noodles are handmade by the father. Definitely a good spot for lunch especially in the cold weather.

The soup base was alright, but the noodle is horribly thick. the texture its like eating thick flour cake. we ordered big portion and it was so hard to swallow. just order the regular will do.

Cheap but tasty, eating is very fast served and is really homemade. there is an English menu. cash payment. the staff was very nice and helped ask. they feel that they came to a place where local food goes. it is worth walking 10 minutes outside the tourist zone. instead of eating overpriced dining in restaurants only on the lake try something local, they will enjoy it!
