Hirakata, Osaka, Japan｜Kanokawaseimen Hirakatashodaiten

Love this chain. There’s an extensive menu, but I’m a bargain Hunter. The basic udon is ¥300 and you can get small, medium or large portion of noodles for the same price. There are tempura battered add on items at at the counter that are available. I usually get Kashiwa, which is just tempura chicken for ¥190 but you don’t have to. The broth is outstanding as long as you go before last order. End of the night broth never seems as good, and the free sliced chives and tempura bits you can take may have run out. You can take as much sliced chives (negi) and tempura batter bits (tenkasu) and puréed garlic as you’d like. You are meant to mix it in the broth bowl where the noodles should be dipped before eaten. There’s free tea and water as well. If u have kids, you can share your noodles with them. Every location has kids bowls, chopsticks and forks you can use freely. After you eat, it’s polite to clean your table with the spray and tissues and take your trays to the return counter. Enjoy a cheap meal!

I bought a Nakatsu fried chicken bento to take home. It was more crispy and delicious than the fried chicken specialty store. I also had a lot of cabbage. Let's definitely eat again ❗ Even though it's an udon restaurant, I don't use it much for udon

Located about 5 minutes by car from Kuzuha Station There is no big change from other chain stores.
