A dish with avocado included! A homemade noodle and natural dashi udon restaurant that's "worth lining up to eat" (Ropponmatsu, Fukuoka)

Hello. I'm Sho Fujita, a gourmet writer and a huge fan of noodles.

This time, we will introduce a popular udon restaurant in Ropponmatsu, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, that specializes in homemade noodles and natural broth.

Everyone from babies to the elderly! Udon Biyori, a popular restaurant in Ropponmatsu (Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)

A five-minute walk from Ropponmatsu Station on the Nanakuma Line of the Fukuoka City Subway. Located behind the Fukuoka Takada Family Court Building, which houses the High Court, District Court, Family Court, and Summary Court, Udonbiyori is a popular restaurant in an area packed with popular restaurants.

The satisfying udon noodles, made with soft, chewy homemade noodles, have become a hot topic, and are so popular that there are often lines at lunchtime, even on weekdays.

The owner, Yarimizu, who has been involved in the food industry for many years, thought about "what can everyone, from babies to the elderly, eat safely," and finally came up with the idea of "udon."

After training at the famous Otemon restaurant "Shinari," he opened "Udonbiyori" in 2012 and runs the restaurant together with his family and staff.

The store's name, "Hiyori," is said to contain the wish that "whether it's a rainy day or a sunny day, a sad day or a happy day, the day you come here will be a 'good day.'"

The interior of the restaurant has a natural and clean atmosphere, with wooden tables standing out against a white-based space.

Other distinctive features are the large windows and open kitchen, allowing visitors to see the cooking process from outside, giving them a sense of security.

There are 19 seats in total, with 14 at tables and 5 at the counter, so even people dining alone or with their families can feel at ease.

Chewy homemade noodles and delicious natural broth!

Udon Biyori's homemade noodles are made from a unique blend of two types of wheat grown in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Rather than striving for a strong firmness like Sanuki udon, it has a gentle elasticity and chewy texture.

Another special feature is that the noodles are slowly aged for 2 to 3 days, giving them a beautiful luster and suppleness.

They only use the amount of noodles prepared that morning, and each bowl is boiled after an order is placed, demonstrating their strict attention to freshness and texture.

Another characteristic that symbolizes "Udon Biyori" is its natural dashi stock, which is made with a generous amount of kelp and five types of dried fish and contains no food additives.

The soup is made by carefully simmering kelp as a base, with domestic bonito flakes such as horse mackerel and mackerel added at different times, allowing the flavors of each ingredient to blend together and create a deep, flavorful dish.

Full of satisfaction! A unique udon menu

The udon menu is broadly divided into two types: "warm udon" and "bukkake udon," which you can choose to have hot or cold.

The "Warm Udon" section has a wide selection of dishes, from classics to more filling options, such as the "Ebi Tenmori Udon" (1,200 yen), topped with two shrimp tempura and four kinds of vegetable tempura, and the "Beef Tendon Udon" (920 yen), which is filled with soft, simmered beef tendon.

On the other hand, the "Bukkake Udon" has a variety of popular menu items, including the signature "Avocado and Shrimp Tempura Bukkake" (950 yen), the hearty "Chicken Tempura Bukkake" (950 yen), and the summer-only "Grated Plum Bukkake (Kishu Plum)" (880 yen).

In addition, there is a wide selection of side dishes that go well with udon, such as tempura single items and assorted platters, and the "Chicken Minced Meat Rice Bowl" with a soft-boiled egg (regular 450 yen / small 400 yen).

We tried the specialty dish, "Avocado and Shrimp Tempura Bukkake"!

On this day, I ordered the most popular dish, "Avocado and Shrimp Tempura Bukkake."

The smooth and chewy noodles are topped with half an avocado and three pieces of shrimp tempura wrapped in crispy batter, making for a very visually appealing dish.

Enjoy the dish with a generous amount of the special sauce made with natural stock and avocado.

The avocados are carefully grown and ripened one by one, with careful temperature control from the time they are fresh.

When avocados are perfectly ripe, they have the sweetness that only a fully ripe avocado can have, and a rich, creamy flavor.

If you squeeze some lemon on it, it takes on a refreshing ponzu flavor, perfect for a hot day. It was filling and very satisfying!

The careful craftsmanship and honest feelings put into each bowl of udon at Udonbiyori fills the hearts and stomachs of all who visit.

This is a restaurant where you will find your favorite drink and want to eat it again and again. (Text by Sho Fujita)
