[Kitakyushu Udon] Lines every day! The exquisite "Niku Bukkake" (beef bukkake) with superbly chewy Sanuki-style handmade noodles (Fukuoka)
Hello. I'm Momo and I love to eat.
This time, we will introduce you to a udon restaurant located in Tsuda Minamimachi, Kokura Minami Ward, Kitakyushu City.
The hugely popular restaurant "Kodawari Udon Ichido" (Tsudaminamimachi, Kokuraminami Ward, Kitakyushu City)
"Kodawari Udon Ichido" is located on the main road, a 5-minute drive from the Kokura Higashi Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. This udon restaurant is extremely popular with locals, with people lining up even before it opens.
Look for the large sign visible from the main street.

Opening hours are from 11am to 2pm, but be aware that they may run out of noodles and close early.
I went there just before 11am on a Sunday, but there were already five groups waiting!

Once inside, you'll be greeted by the friendly owner. No matter how busy he is, he makes an effort to speak to each and every customer.
The restaurant has table seating, counter seating, and tatami seating, making it easy for people to dine alone or with children.

"Kodawari Udon Ichimichi" is a self-service restaurant. First, you look at the menu at the entrance and then order your udon at the counter. There are 11 types of standard udon, and seasonal menu items are also available.

After that, you can choose what you like, such as "Tempura" (from 110 yen) or "Onigiri" (from 120 yen), and take a seat.

The pickled radish and kelp next to the register are also self-service.

Thick, chewy noodles! Excellent udon with delicious broth
The noodles are handmade in the store every day and are authentic Sanuki-style noodles. They are thick, chewy, and exceptionally delicious.
You can directly taste the deliciousness of the noodles with "Kake Udon (Hot/Cold/Heatless)" (480 yen), "Shoyu Udon (Hot/Cold)" (500 yen), and "Bukkake Udon (Hot/Cold)" (540 yen).
This time, I ordered "Niku Bukkake Udon" (870 yen) and "Niku Udon" (820 yen).
Meat-topped udon
If you come here, you should definitely order the most popular dish, "Niku Bukkake Udon" (870 yen). Large servings are also available (+150 yen).
The udon is topped with a generous amount of sweet and spicy beef belly, tempura flakes, grated daikon radish, and spring onions, making for an appetizing appearance.

The colder the noodles are, the firmer and more elastic they become. They are absolutely delicious when mixed with the sweet and rich broth!

When combined with sweet beef, grated daikon radish, and tempura flakes, the flavor is doubled! It's the perfect combination.
Meat udon
"Meat Udon" (820 yen) with a fragrant dashi soup stock.

The sweetness and umami of the beef dissolves in the gentle Japanese-style broth, creating a delicious taste that permeates your body.

The chewy noodles are easy to swallow and can be easily eaten.

There was a lot of beef on top, so it was very filling and left me feeling very satisfied.

There is a wide variety of toppings available!
The tempura toppings and side dishes are also available in a wide variety that is sure to appeal to customers.
We had "Eggplant Tempura" (120 yen), "Crabstick Tempura" (150 yen), and "Soft-boiled Egg Tempura" (120 yen).

"Crab stick tempura" has an excellent balance of crispy batter and thick crab sticks.
The popular "Soft-boiled egg tempura" is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It goes great with udon noodles.

These are "Croquettes" (130 yen) and "Chicken Tempura" (130 yen).

The crispy fried "Toriten" is about the size of a fist and has a nice peppery flavor.
The crispy croquettes can be eaten with sauce or dipped in udon broth - both are delicious.

As I was leaving, they said things like "Have a nice trip" and "Be careful," which made me smile warmly.
It's a restaurant you'll want to visit again and again. Please do give it a try! (Text by momo)
