ゴマ男 Pick Up

【Udon prefecture】Udon Kingdom is Kagawa prefecture.【Kagawa trip】

I went to Kagawa prefecture during 3rd-6th November for "Setouchi triennial 2016".
This event is so popular that not only Japanese but also many foreigner gathered at Kagawa prefecture.

About this event, I introduced other article.
 
So! In this article,
I would like to introduce other attract of Kagawa prefecture!
 
Originally when we are heard "Kagawa", almost japanese come up with “Udon” .
Udon at Kagawa is so famous that we call it Udon prefecture.
 
Especially, Sanuki udon  is one of the three greatest Udon.(Sanuki is city name at Kagawa)
 
That's why I had many udon in art travel.
So!
I would like to report Udon at Kagawa! 
 

Starter 

Takamatsu airport

My 1st day started later.
I aimed to my accommodation “MICASASCASA” which is nice and cheap guest house.
 
This bending machine sold tickets of buses which have 3 lines to "Takamatsu city","Marukame city" and "Konpera city".

This bending machine could be paid by electric money “WAON” and “EDY”.
But unfortunately I'm heavy user of “SUICA”...

Marukame station

f:id:gomao2699:20161121113517j:plain

Do you know Marukame seimen?
 
It is so famous Japanese Udon chain restauraunt.
And I found Marukame city at Udon prefecture.
 
Of course, I guessed this Udon shops was born at this Marukame city!!
But, actually it is wrong!
Interestingly,Marukame Udon shop was started at Hyogo prefecture!!
Marukame seimen has nothing with Marukame city and doesn’t have any branch at Kagawa!!
 

Let's start Udon trip

At first we have to be careful that most Kagawa Udon shops were closed so early like 15:00-16:00!!
But this time I went around Setouchi triennial 2016.
That`s why I couldn`t go such early time!!
 
So at this article, I will tell several Udon shop which open later!

Meat Udon@Ohkama Udon

1st day,I got my accomondation place late.
There was countyside and not many houses so I gave up eating Udon first day.
But MICASASCASA owner told me Ohkama Udon which was opened by 19:30!!
I dashed to there!! 
 
This shop was good atmosphere!
I could fell history!

f:id:gomao2699:20161121120419j:plain

So yummmmy!
But it was not only good but also cheap!
It was only 340 yen! 
Almost udon at Kagawa were so cheap!

Kamaage Udon with tempra of tara@Merikenya

Merikenya is so closed to Takamatsu station.
And this shop is opend until 20:00 so this is so convinience!!
I ate “Kamaage Udon” and "tempra of tara".

Let`s resume Udon trip!!

Olive udon@Shiogamaya  

Super yummy!!
But actually there was no olive!!
So why is this udon called Olibe udon despite of no olive?
Because this meat is is cow that was fed by olive!
So this meat was super!
But this udon was 1,000yen !!
This shop open unitil 20:00.

Udon with coroqutte@Udon baka ishidai

This shop was so busy and close at 18:00!

Many local people visited here!

f:id:gomao2699:20161121115307j:plain

I had heard in Kagawa city there was croquette udon that croquette is in soup.
I couldn't imagine it and I didn`t think it was good.

Udon baka ishidai hadn't croquette udon.

But I ordered udon and croquette.

And I made and tried!!

...Not bad.
