Waraya

ざいごうどん本家 わら家

Kagawa · Shikoku

Waraya is a long-established Sanuki udon restaurant set in a thatched-roof former farmhouse at the foot of Yashima, beside the Shikoku Mura open-air museum. It is best known for kamaage udon served in a large wooden tub with a house dipping broth poured from a spouted flask.

Why we picked it

Housed in an atmospheric old farmhouse next to the Shikoku Mura folk village, it pairs a scenic Yashima setting with one of Kagawa's most photographed tub-udon experiences.
