Wakayama, Japan｜Masamune

Two people visited on a Saturday afternoon. It's a very popular restaurant, and it was full even around 1:30pm that day. I ordered tempura udon and toriten curry udon, each with grilled rice balls and Chinese chimaki. The udon noodles are not made in advance and are boiled one by one after each order is placed, so it takes a little time to serve them. Of course we will keep you waiting. I can feel their commitment to homemade, handmade udon. The tempura udon at this restaurant is different from the usual kake udon that is topped with shrimp tempura, but the kake udon and tempura platter are served separately. First of all, when you try it with just the udon noodles, the aromatic and flavorful soup stock is outstanding. The carefully selected udon noodles are thick, chewy, smooth, and have the best chewy texture when you bite into them. It's worth coming to this restaurant just for this kake udon. The crispy and carefully fried tempura was also very delicious, and I was very satisfied with the two shrimp tempura, the kiss tempura, and several other types of tempura such as pumpkin and perilla leaves. And the curry udon is delicious. The aroma and flavor of the Japanese soup stock, reminiscent of bonito and sardine soup stock, give the spicy curry a deep, mellow taste. The chewy udon noodles are mixed with the melty, flavorful curry, making it very delicious. Of course, it went perfectly with the toriten. The inside of the store was kept clean and I felt that it had a nice Japanese atmosphere. There are only two parking spaces in front of the store, but you can use the parking lot of the karaoke store across the street. When I paid, I was given a parking fee of 100 yen. The lunch set menu, which is rich in variety and reasonably priced, comes with delicious udon noodles, which is very appealing, and I would like to come back again.

I went to Masamune with my juniors for lunch! It was my first visit and I was having a hard time deciding between katsudon and miso katsudon, but my junior colleague advised me to go for katsudon for my first time and if I like it, I'd like to try miso katsudon next time! , order katsudon! And for the udon, I ordered the mini beef dumplings udon! My junior ordered the miso cutlet set meal! By the way, the set meal also comes with mini udon noodles! Sounds good! The rice bowl is ready in about 10 or 15 minutes! A bite of udon soup...it's the best! It's a hit! First of all, the cutlet bowl has a crispy egg and a creamy texture, and the flavor is delicious.The soup stock is so delicious! And I love beef udon! The noodles are chewy and firm, which makes them delicious and filling! The combination of the mild flavorful dashi stock and the flavorful beef scraps is truly exquisite! On the way, my junior gave me a piece of miso cutlet, so I ate it and the miso cutlet was delicious! It was an authentic miso cutlet, and the miso sauce on the crispy pork cutlet was irresistible! I found another good and delicious restaurant! Next time, I would like to try the chicken nanban set meal or the miso katsudon! I'm very satisfied!

Anyway, it's crowded. I happened to go there and there was an empty tatami room, so I was able to get there in a few minutes, but the next person in line had been waiting quite a while. I recommend parking in the Lucky Bob parking lot. If you tell the clerk, you can get 100 yen. I wanted oyakodon, but I was told that I didn't like rice, so I ordered Nikukasu udon and Takoyaki udon, but Nikukasu udon was so delicious! ! ! The best✨ One of the takoyaki udon noodles was missing one octopus, and the dough was a little chewy due to lack of moisture, so I guess it was frozen takoyaki that had been overcooked.
