Freshly fried tempura and chewy thin noodles "Bukkake" are the specialties at this udon restaurant that has long queues (Kanda Town)

2025.01.05

Hello. I'm Momo and I love to eat.

This time, we will introduce you to a udon restaurant in Kanda-machi, Kyoto-gun that is extremely popular among locals.

The smooth, thin noodles and broth are superb! The hugely popular Udon restaurant "Mennosuke" (Kanda-machi, Kyoto-gun) has long lines of people waiting to get in.

Udon shop "Mennosuke" is a popular restaurant located 3 minutes by car from JR Nippō Main Line's Konase Nishikodai-mae Station and near "Ogura Sumire Kindergarten".

This restaurant is a member of the Buzen Urauchikai, a school of handmade udon that can only be called by those who have trained at the head temple, Tsudaya Kanbei (Tsudashinmachi, Kokuraminami Ward, Kitakyushu City). You can enjoy handmade, chewy, thin "noodles," "dashi" made from a unique blend of Rausu kelp, bonito flakes, dried mackerel, and dried round sardines, and "dipping sauce" made with Rausu kelp, plenty of bonito flakes, and specially ordered soy sauce.

The landmark is a yellow tent with the store name written in large letters.

The inside of the store is small and only has a counter.

I visited the restaurant just after 11am on a Saturday, but it was already full! Customers continued to come in without interruption. The restaurant closes as soon as it runs out of noodles, so I recommend going early.

A rich menu! The most popular item is "Bukkake Udon"

The defining feature of Udon-ya Mennosuke is its extensive menu.

There are over 50 different types of noodles, including "Bukkake Udon" (from 580 yen), "Soup Udon" (from 450 yen), "Tsukemen" (from 600 yen), "Rice Bowls" (from 800 yen), "Mini Rice Bowls" (5 varieties, 450 yen each), "Bukkake + Mini Rice Bowl Set" (from 980 yen), and "Kake Udon + Mini Rice Bowl Set" (780 yen)!

There was also an original dish called "Seasonal Vegetable Mentaiko Italian" (830 yen), which uses Spicy Fish Eggs from "Fukunoya."

The "Bukkake Udon" series is especially popular. If you're not sure what to get, we recommend starting with the "Bukkake Udon."

This time I had the "Vegetable Tempura Bukkake" (840 yen). You can choose between hot or cold. The vegetable tempura is plentiful, including eggplant, bell peppers, Moroccan green beans, lotus root, bamboo shoots, and green onions! They use seasonal vegetables, and even included persimmon, which is rare in tempura ♪ I love the crispy, freshly fried taste!

Serve with the dipping sauce provided separately.

The noodles are thin and chewy. The dipping sauce is full of dashi and is delicious! The secret to its deliciousness is the brown sugar used as a hidden ingredient.

The noodles and dipping sauce are perfectly combined, and the smooth texture is irresistible.

The freshness of the grated daikon radish and ginger made it easy to eat.

There are plenty of great value udon and rice bowl set menus available!

We also recommend the "Kake Udon + Mini Rice Bowl Set" (780 yen each), which offers a great deal on a set of "Mini Rice Bowls" (5 varieties, 450 yen each) and "Kake Udon" (450 yen).

The photo shows the "Mini Oyakodon + Kake Udon" (780 yen). It also comes with pickles. You can also get a large serving of udon for an additional 140 yen.

The broth is rich in flavor and has a mild taste.

The noodles in "Kake Udon" are thin, just like those in "Bukkake Udon", and go well with the warm broth.

The "Mini Oyakodon" has a soft-boiled egg that is soft and runny. The dashi stock is very effective and delicious.

It was filled with chunks of chicken, and even though it was mini-sized, it was very filling.
