Nara, Japan｜Kamaiki

Place seems quite popular. You may have to queue. Died down a bit around 19. We tried three different types of udon. The cold one, the one with chicken broth and the one with the curry. They were all great in different ways! And the tempura were made perfectly! Kitchen was quite speedy, and the waitress was friendly.

It was a rainy morning so we decided to get some udon. We were lucky to get a table for 2 without a queue as we arrived there at 11am. Since it was raining, without a doubt, we ordered some piping hot udon. We ordered the Nabeyaki Udon and Spicy Nabeyaki Udon, with an added topping of rice cake. Let me tell you, the noodle? The right amount of chewiness. The broth? Clear but full of depth. The toppings? Cherry to the ice-cream. The tempura rice cake almost sent me to heaven (only if you like chewy food) FYI, the spicy Nabeyaki udon isn’t spicy at all, but it definitely added some kick to the soup. The soup itself is already amazing. They even sell their Dashi stock so you can make your own soup dish! If you are coming in a party of 2 especially in a chilly weather, definitely order Nabeyaki Udon.

The Udon is really delicious, one of the best we tasted. Price is very reasonable. If u r going to Nara, this is a nice place for lunch. Take note that the shop close at 3pm for break.
