While I was in Japan, I had many delicious kinds of noodles!
-
Wagyu Beef Ramen - Menya Inoichi Hanare - Kyoto
Beef ramen The ramen broth was light but very flavorful! The wagyu beef was delicious and rich! This was a really popular shop, so we waited for about an hour before eating.
-
Duck Ramen - Gion Duck Noodles - Kyoto
Duck ramen This shop was in an alley, so it was a bit hard to find. We waited for about an hour even at an off-peak time. The ramen was light and delicious!

Flat Udon - Godaime Hanayama Udon - Tokyo
Udon This was the first time that I had udon that was this wide! The udon was super chewy and fun to slurp! It came with a soy sauce based dipping sauce and a sesame sauce. It also came with tempura shrimp and maitake mushrooms, which were super good!
-
Chicken Ramen - Ginza Kagari - Tokyo
Chicken ramen I got the chicken ramen, and the broth was really rich for being chicken broth! I would recommend the truffle version of the ramen instead of the normal one!

Beef Udon - Udon Shin - Tokyo
Beef udon This was one of the longest waits for a restaurant during our time in Japan, but it was worth it! We arrived at the restaurant at around 9:00am to put our names on the waitlist, and estimated time we would enter was 1:30pm! In the meantime, we walked around the neighborhood, got breakfast, and went to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. We arrived back at the restaurant around 1pm to place our order. I got a beef udon that was really good and the udon was chewy!

Matcha Soba - Nakamura Tokichi - Uji
Matcha Soba While in Uji, I stopped at a tea shop that also sold food and desserts. The restaurant overlooked the river and had an amazing view! I got the kitsune matcha soba which was really unique.
-
Udon - Tengu - Kyoto
Udon This was a hidden spot that is popular with locals! I had the nabe udon which was steaming hot and filled with lots of ingredients!

Matcha Soba - 茶そば寿庵 喜多院店 - Kawagoe
Matcha Soba We stumbled upon this shop after visiting the temple in Kawagoe. It was popular with the locals. I ordered a hot soupy version of soba, and it came with tempura. We also ordered a side of sweet potato tempura, since Kawagoe is famous for its sweet potatoes. Since it was a cold day, the hot soba really hit the spot and warmed me up!
