The roots of string udon are actually not well understood.
Since Kiryu City is known as a textile town, there are various theories, such as that it may have been made to look like a belt.
The wide noodles are the most distinctive feature, and their appearance makes a huge impact.
The width of the noodles varies from store to store, but some are surprisingly wide, ranging from 15 to 20 centimeters.
It is also quite long, so long that it cannot be lifted with chopsticks unless it is folded!
Since udon was originally eaten frequently in the area, it is thought to have taken root as an oddity.

The curry string noodles here are a must if you are dining at Daisan Yamamoto.
Some people may think it looks too rich, but in fact it is just the right amount.
The curry-flavored broth with a hint of soy sauce and dashi sauce is thick and thick like ankake, and goes well with the noodles.
The spiciness of the sauce is not too strong, but if you add shichimi (seven spices), which is provided at the table, it adds a gorgeous aroma that further enhances the flavor of the sauce.
If you don't mind spicy food, give it a try.

Daisan Yamamoto's string noodles are a limited-time item available every year from fall to winter.
Today, string noodles can be found all year round, but in the past, they were "noodles eaten during the cold season.
The ease of being able to eat at any time makes me happy, but it is also important to pass on such culture.
If you visit outside of fall and winter, try the regular udon.
Enjoy the firm and chewy noodles.

It is one of the most popular restaurants in the city, offering udon, soba, and rice bowls, including string noodles.
It is recommended to visit as early as possible, as it is often crowded during lunch time on holidays.
If it is right after the restaurant opens, around 11:30, you can often be seated smoothly.
If you are considering a later time, around 1:00 p.m., the crowds may have thinned out a bit.
The location is in a quiet residential area.
It is a little difficult to find at first sight, but with the use of a navigation system, the range is not a problem.
Please note that the parking lot in front of the restaurant has only a few spaces available for parking.
The restaurant's dark brown interior gives a calm impression.
In addition to table seating, there is a small wooden flooring area, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

If you dine at Kameroku, you must try Oribe.
Handmade soba noodles and string noodles are served together, and you can also enjoy the crunchy texture of kakiage (deep fried fish cake) in this luxurious dish.
The dipping sauce has a rich broth aroma and is sweet and spicy.
It goes well with firm noodles and kakiage (deep-fried tofu).
The string udon is about 5 cm wide, elastic, and satisfying.
"For those who want to eat only string noodles with a full stomach ", we also recommend "mushroom soup string noodles ".
The dipping sauce, which infuses the umami of the mushrooms, is superb.
Enjoy the taste of a popular restaurant.
