The first meal of our Osaka trip was udon, and we visited Takeuchi Udonten (たけうちうどん店) near Nakatsu Station.
The menu. Note: They do not have a ticket vending machine.
We arrived around 2 p.m. and found that almost all seats were occupied. However, we were seated quickly. I ordered the Ki-jyoyu udon with onsen tamago and wakame seaweed.
My friend ordered simple Ki-jyoyu udon without wakame and onsen tamago.
Ki-jyoyu is a pure soy sauce with no added seasonings or heat treatment. It is served on the table in advance, allowing you to add it to your udon as you like. Unlike regular soy sauce, Ki-jyoyu is milder and less salty.
The udon was delicious and chewy, but it was larger than I expected, and I couldn’t finish it. My friend ended up eating my leftovers. I still can’t believe he managed to eat both curry and rice and my udon! (I might have snuck in two strawberry daifuku while he was enjoying his curry :P)
