Open only four days a week for lunch, this udon joint close to Gakugei-Daigaku Station in Meguro can be real hard to get into. Paying little heed to the listed business hours, the shop often runs out of noodles and closes before its stipulated time of 2pm.
Prepare to queue up for a seat inside the small space, but once you get in, you'll be glad you did: the soft, aromatic noodles are served in a powerfully flavoured, sardine-based broth, making for a heavenly combination. The tempura, fried on order, also maintains excellent quality: we recommend the mochi and soft-boiled egg varieties.
