As you step into the restaurant, you'll notice a vending machine to purchase your meal tickets. Don't worry if it's all in Japanese; I'll provide a description of the vending machine in the comments below to help you navigate through the ordering process.
Once you have your tickets, head to the kitchen area, present them, and choose a seat to relax. Like in most Japanese restaurants, you'll find free water available for guests.
Next, listen closely as your order is called, and then head to the counter to pick up your bowl of Udon. Customize your dish with toppings like tempura flakes or chili powder (7 spices) according to your taste.
I opted for the basic version, topped with a raw egg and green onions, which cost only around $2-3. The noodles are delightfully thick and mouthwateringly delicious, complemented by a flavorful broth that perfectly matches the Udon.
Udon has a rich history, dating back over 1000 years, and it's interesting to note that Udon is more popular in western Japan, while Soba takes the lead in eastern Japan. Surprisingly, Udon and Somen share the same noodles, with the primary difference being their thickness – Somen being very thin and Udon, as we know it, being thick and hearty.
Once you finish your delightful meal, remember to return your plate to the kitchen and dispose of the one-time-use items yourself.
It's important to mention that the exit is separate from the entrance in this restaurant, so make sure to head in the right direction when you leave.
