One street away from the bustling Takamiya-dori sits Udon Komaru, which is celebrating its first anniversary this month. Owner Nobuhiro Araki is an udon<\/em> pro, having spent nearly 10 years honing his craft at a popular Sanuki-style udon<\/em> shop in Yakuin. Although Araki\u2019s udon<\/em> is based on the Sanuki style, which is typified by its chewy noodles, he opts for a thinner, suppler noodle instead of the typical thicker one. He makes the noodles from specialty flour sourced direct from Kagawa Prefecture, the home of Sanuki udon<\/em>. One bite and the subtle flavor of wheat will fill your mouth, mixing in with the flavorful soup broth made from iriko<\/em> (baby sardines). He offers seven kinds of udon<\/em> including the standard kake<\/em> (hot udon<\/em>) and bukkake<\/em> (with toppings and soup served over the noodles) as well as a range of toppings, like grated daikon<\/em> radish. For a reasonably priced bowl of udon<\/em>, why not stop by this cozy udon<\/em> shop the next time you\u2019re out?<\/p>\n
