"Chabukama" is just a minutes walk away from Ohorikoen Station (Fukuoka City Subway). The restaurant was established by Iwamura, a chef who trained at Italian restaurants and sanuki udon eateries. The menu features classic sanuki dishes, such as kamatama, bukkake, and shoyu udon. The kamatama option is particularly delicious because the egg is thoroughly beaten by the chef before it is served. Udon and egg are a match made in heaven! The shoyu udon uses Mitsuru Shoyu made in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is so tasty! It is clear that a lot of thought goes into all the dishes. Iwamura has said, "It's not just about the body of the noodle. I like the udon to be slightly soft and stretchy. The reason I chose to use Mitsuru Shoyu as an ingredient is because it allows the flavor of the noodles to shine." "Chabukama" offer a form of sanuki udon that is well-suited to local taste buds. Fukuoka natives are known for their love of udon noodles that have a soft texture. Iwamura put in so much time and effort into developing dishes that appeal to people in Fukuoka.

The restaurant has earned a reputation for serving delicious seasonal udon dishes. One of their most popular specialities is the "Vichyssoise Udon" (available from May to October). The Vichyssoise soup is made with Parmigiano to give the dish a rich, yet sharp flavor. The ingredients evolve and change every year. The restaurant has previously used micro-leafs that have strong, bold flavors in the dish. And be sure to check-out the owner's Japanese sake selection! Iwamura is a bit of a connoisseur, so you are in for a treat! "Chabukama" has a lot of regulars who stop by for a glass of alcohol and a bowl of udon! Why not join them some time?
