Enjoy Fishing and Udon Noodles! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB's Summer Camp in Shikoku, Japan. -Part 2

Let's hold a 3-day/2-night camp in Shikoku, fish a lot, and eat a lot of udon noodles! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB is on fire. In Part 1, we reported on the first day spent at Kagawa Prefecture's Kadoniri Dam. This time, we will report on the second part, which covers the second and third days. We fished well on the first day in less than good conditions, but let's see what happened on the rest of the days. ...... A trip with friends based around bass fishing was more exciting than visiting famous tourist destinations.

Today's Udon

the first serving

A local specialty restaurant that stands quietly in the neighborhood. Soba is also recommended.

Ikeuchi Udon Noodle Shop
udon (thick Japanese wheat noodles)

Hiramoto: This is the first time I have had udon noodles with a little bit of thick soy sauce broth like bukkake. The noodles are thin, firm and hard. It's easy to eat with a drop of water. The eating space and the outdoor area under the eaves of the roof, where you can watch the carp in the pond, was neat. Delicious!

Second cup.

A popular restaurant that even udon connoisseurs will be impressed with.

Ichikawa: The self-serve format and self-reported toppings were a shock. The quaint storefront is the best. The noodles are chunky and firm, and the elegant broth is great. I was impressed by the simple taste of the ingredients. Delicious!

3rd cup

A famous restaurant loved by locals and tourists alike.

Komatsu: When we arrived, there was a long line. The retro appearance of the restaurant and sitting on the bench in front of the restaurant was kind of nice. I had it with cold noodles, which were a little softer than the others, and the iriko broth had a gentle flavor. I can see why it is so popular. Delicious!

4th cup

Open until midnight! Don't forget to finish your meal.

Udon-ya Goemon

Ikemoto: The curry udon with Japanese soup stock is probably the best curry udon I've ever had. The restaurant is located in town and is open until late at night, so it is perfect after a night of drinking. The European-style black curry udon is also great. Delicious!
