Enjoy the local specialty "Tarai Udon" while listening to the sound of the river
"Tarai Udon" is Udon noodles served in “Tarai”, a wooden tub. The dipping sauce for Udon noodles uses broth from dried sardines, shiitake mushrooms, and soybeans.
There is some outside seating right next to a river as well as regular tables inside the restaurant. It would be nice to have your meal with a cool breath and a beautiful view, especially in the cherry blossom season.
