7. [The slippery noodles of San-Shiki's homemade udon noodles have captivated diners.

The owner, a native of Kagawa Prefecture, is a popular restaurant known for its homemade noodles that go down smoothly. The secret to the delicious taste is to let the dough, which is made from a unique blend of flour from Hokkaido and Kyushu, rest overnight at a low temperature. The noodles are slightly thinner and the broth is made with less dried sardines to meet the tastes of Kyotoites, but they also use soy sauce produced in Kagawa. The at-home atmosphere of the restaurant, which is easy to visit by yourself or with your family, is also very comfortable.
