こだわり麺や サンポート高松店 — Local services in Takamatsu

Although Sanuki Udon's "Kake Udon" and "Shoyu Udon" may look similar, they are completely different in terms of flavour and eating experience.

Kake Udon Composition: Hot broth (based on dried sardine stock) and udon noodles Flavour focus: broth (soup) Characteristics: Based on Kagawa's dried sardine (niboshi) broth, it is aromatic and light. Soy sauce and mirin are used sparingly, and achieving the right balance of saltiness and umami is key. The noodles are there to "absorb the broth". In other words, it's a type of udon that is meant to be savoured with the broth. It's the 'Soul Soup of Sanuki' that warms a chilled body. 🧂 2. Shoyu udon Composition: Boiled udon noodles (hot or cold), simply topped with dashi soy sauce. Flavour focus: The Noodles Themselves Characteristics: There is no soup (just mix in a small amount of dashi soy sauce). The firmness of the noodles and the wheat flavour are the most prominent characteristics. It is typically served with lemon, grated daikon radish or green onions. In other words, it is "Sanuki's simple noodle dish eaten with dashi soy sauce". The noodles themselves are the star.

To put it in image terms: 'Kake udon' = 'soup udon' that comforts you with its broth, and 'shoyu udon' = 'Sanuki's plain udon' where you savour the wheat.

Located right in front of the station, this self-service Sanuki udon shop has an impressive, down-to-earth atmosphere that feels authentically local, despite being surrounded by tourists. The store skilfully balances convenience and tradition, offering modern QR code and cashless payment options while maintaining the genuine charm of a local udon eatery. The udon is served in true Sanuki style, enabling visitors to experience the authentic taste and presentation of Kagawa's speciality. With a wide selection of tempura, croquettes and other toppings, plus a special soy-based broth enhanced with rare sugar syrup, the flavour is beautifully enhanced. Considering its prime location, the prices are very reasonable. The service may feel minimal, but that's all part of the Sanuki udon...

まずは、ストレートな感想ですいません⤴︎⤴︎ 非常に使い勝手がよろしくないかと(⃔ ꒪꒳꒪̟ )⃕↝

JR高松駅から近い サンポートの1階にあるゆえ 観光客狙いもある感じですが

こちら、外からと建物内からと 両方に入り口があって なんだか混雑している様子…

注文して、受け取る間に天ぷら類を取り うどんを受け取ってからお会計☆

本来なら、そんな流れになるのでしょうが 注文口で、ずっと出来上がりを待つ感じ⤴︎⤴︎

お客さん1人が、そこから動けないので どんどん列が出来る始末で

注文口の場所や、オペレーションは ちょっと、ご一考された方がいいかも(^▽^;)

・カレーうどん(小) 560円 ・とり天 180円 ・おにぎり(ツナ)

店内は、出来たばかりなので 開放感あってキレイです◎

とり天カレーうどんにて いただきま～す♬

カレーは、あとから スパイシーさが来て

うどんの麺は、中細の とても滑らかな口当たり♡

さて、クレメントが見える 窓側のカウンター席でいただきましたが

後ろにザワついた気配を感じて 何気に振り返ってみると

長～い行列が、L字どころか コの字型になって激並びです～～(ºωº;≡;ºωº )

もちろん、返却口から 出口(入り口)の方へ行くにも 人とテーブルの合間を縫って行く感じ(？)

香川のセルフのチェーン店が こんなサンポートに入るなんて とてもスゴい事だと思いますし

讃岐うどんのイメージを落とさないように もう少し、スマートにいただけたらと(...

Its quite a spacious udon restaurant. You can self service choose the fried food or oden to go with the udon. Handmade udon. It’s chewy and satisfying to slurp. Price...
