One in every of my go-to ideas for locating eating places in a brand new metropolis in Japan is to go to the native department shops. In Akita metropolis Seibu division retailer has one in every of my favourite udon eating places, Sato Yosuke. The Eighth-generation restaurant serves Inaniwa udon that’s stretched out by hand. The noodles are silky and simple to slurp.
The menu gives each cold and warm udon, tempura, and quite a lot of toppings for the udon. Sato Yosuke additionally has a department in Ginza, Tokyo, however just lately the queue to get in is lengthy so I used to be so comfortable that we might stroll into the Akita department.
I attempted three completely different toppings to the noodles. Niku meat and miso over heat noodles, nameko mushrooms with grated daikon, and umeboshi with oboro shaved kombu. The tempura with chilly udon is served with a males tsuyu dipping sauce and a creamy and nutty goma sesame dressing.
In the event you love udon, put Satō Yōsuke in your radar (in Ginza or Akita).
