The Essence of Dashi

At Udon Specialty Store Shikoku, the focus on quality extends to their dashi, the cornerstone of their udon dishes. Every bowl features carefully selected ingredients:
1. Dried sardines sourced from the Seto Inland Sea.
2. High-quality bonito flakes.
3. Soy sauce from Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture.
This meticulous combination of ingredients results in an unforgettable taste that brings authenticity to every meal.

A Rich History of Udon

Originally opening in 1966 in Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture, Udon Specialty Store Shikoku has pioneered the self-service udon style that is popular today. It was innovative for its time, allowing customers to prepare their own noodles. Over the years, this beloved brand expanded beyond Kagawa to cities like Osaka, spreading the joy of genuine Sanuki udon across Japan.

In July 2000, the store evolved, introducing a dinner menu alongside its famous udon, transforming into a complementary 'udon izakaya.' The evening menu features a variety of yakitori and handmade tofu, allowing customers to enjoy a full dining experience that goes beyond just udon.

Commitments to Quality

Udon Specialty Store Shikoku's dedication to quality is evident in every bowl of udon they serve. The udon is made with a special blend of wheat that ensures unique texture and flavor. The restaurant meticulously checks the weather before making the udon, showing their commitment to maintaining the highest standards.

The dashi, as they emphasize, is critical in determining the flavor. The udon utilizes premium ingredients, including natural salt sourced from seawater in the Seto Inland Sea. These careful selections contribute to taking the udon experience to the next level.

Dining Experience

The Udon Specialty Store Shikoku offers a complete dining experience from start to finish. Guests can enjoy seasonal delights like Ooyama chicken skewers and end their meal with a comforting bowl of udon, culminating their dining experience with a satisfying finish.
