What becoming popular in Fukuoka in recent years are the "udon izakaya" restaurants, where you can simply enjoy udon only, or the izakaya food and have a bowl of udon as a last dish of the meal. One of these restaurants include Udonya Kamawan, which is about a 3-minute walk from Tenjin-minami Station (Fukuoka City Subway). According to the owner, it was renovated from a 70-year-old former Mizutaki restaurant, added with aesthetic elements just like what you can find in the shops in Kyoto. The first floor mainly provides counter seats and there are table seats in the back; the second floor comes with table seats and offers seat reservations. The restaurant will try to meet different kinds of requests. The udon served is all handmade using wheat from Itoshima (Fukuoka Pref.). The noodles has a chewy but moderately soft texture, the more you chew, the more the flavour of wheat you can taste. Their tsuyu soup is made from various carefully selected ingredients. Besides the warm udon, the "Hiyakake", a combination of cold tsuyu and cold noodles, is also recommended. In addition to the common udon dishes, you will also find several exclusive selections such as "Karamiso Udon" (Spicy Miso Udon), "Tantan Udon," and "Sujikama Udon", which make you definitely want to visit again and again. The izakaya menu offers a wide variety such as "gomasaba" (sashimi dish that is made by marinating mackerel in a shoyu-based sauce), "hanpen cutlet," and "potato salad". Just one restaurant and all your needs are fulfilled!
