Suzuka, Mie, Japan｜うどん･そば 〇元(まるげん)

family running resto with STYLE ..😋

I came here around 11:30 as I had read the reviews that it was quite busy! It's a weekday, so maybe it's less crowded than I expected? I thought so, but by 12 o'clock it was almost full! It seems to be quite prosperous 😌 I had a set of monkey soba and tempura. My boyfriend ordered a set of katsudon and udon! The tempura included green peppers and eggplant, so I was able to taste vegetables that are not often eaten.☺️The batter was crunchy, and the inside was melty and delicious! I thought the monkey soba had a smooth and gentle texture that was easy for even children to eat ☺️ There was quite a line at the checkout register, but the staff were friendly and accommodating! Miso stewed udon seems to be popular here. I thought I’d eat it next time 😋

I ordered the curry udon set on my first visit. The amount of rice and noodles was about 80% of the amount of individual items, so I felt very satisfied. The katsudon is the best, with sweet pork cutlet and soft pork. The curry udon was so spicy that I wanted more rice. A perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. I'll come back later.
