Okaizumi is the perfect destination for your Sanuki udon tour in Utazu, a port town on the Seto Inland Sea. Its classic style, featuring supple, bold homemade noodles immersed in a clear broth made with layers of chicken and dried sardines, has earned it a loyal following among tourists and locals alike. Its signature dish is the registered trademark "hiyaten oroshi." A towering shrimp tempura towers over crisply chilled noodles, this impressive bowl is a must-try on first-time visitors. The summer-only chilled meat dish is also a popular favorite.

This is a full-service udon restaurant, not a self-service one.

The tempura is freshly fried and crispy.

The interior is clean and has a stylish, Japanese feel. It's perfect for families with children or dates.

Unusually for a Kagawa udon restaurant, it's open late into the night.

While it's known for its long lines, service is fast and the turnover is good.

There are several parking spaces in front of the restaurant, as well as a secondary parking lot behind the restaurant.
