The noodles, made from 100% Itoshima flour, are bouncy with an airy mouthfeel\u2014a quality typical of Hakata <em>udon<\/em>\u2014but they also boast a firm texture much like the renowned Sanuki style from Kagawa Prefecture. To bring out the wheaty aroma of the noodles, a rich, clear broth is carefully crafted from Rausu kelp from Hokkaido, sardines, and mackerel flakes. A popular dish in summer is the <em>sudachi kake udon<\/em>, cold noodles in cold soup topped with thinly sliced <em>sudachi<\/em> citrus. The tangy, aromatic citrus piques the appetite while striking a balance with the light, flavorful broth. Being an <em>udon<\/em> bar, you can also choose to snack and imbibe local <em>sake<\/em> before finishing off the evening with a bowl of noodles.<\/p>\n<div class='photo-galleria' >\n\t\t<style
