When I walked into the restaurant, the friendly owner greeted me warmly. The interior of the restaurant was full of the flow of time and had a charming atmosphere. After hearing an explanation on how to order, I ordered Maruten Udon, which is udon topped with round fish cakes. About 2 minutes after ordering the udon, the udon I ordered was brought to the table. I tasted the udon broth first, and the broth tasted mild and not salty, which was nice. The udon noodles were a bit thicker than regular udon noodles, but the texture was mushy, so I was surprised by the texture of the noodles that I had never tasted before, but as I kept eating, I gradually fell in love with the charm of Miyake Udon.

This shop runs by a 80+ years old couple and a middle aged man who looks in a bad health condition. I believe the owner runs the noodle shop like the first day for more than 50 years without cleaning the shop. The noodle tasted simple but the texture of the noodle was soft and no good. The environment of the shop is dirty, very dirty.The owner used the same boiling water to cook the noodles, sanitized the bowl and keep warm of the noodles soup. If you like to see different ways of cooking, you can visit the shop...
Read moreMiyake Udon is a traditional udon shop in Hakata, Fukuoka's old town.
To the south of Miyake Udon is Shotenji, a temple where udon and soba were introduced from China.
Miyake Udon is a typical Hakata udon, and noodles don't have a chewy. Eat shrimp, burdock tempura, eggs, and Abura-age(deep fried tofu) in simple udon noodles. The onions on the table are all-you-can-eat, and you can add as much udon as you like.
The restaurant has a taste like the Edo period 150 years ago. Please note that it will close in...
