Sangawa — Local services in Takamatsu

A local restaurant which is famous for udon and chicken tempura. English menu available. We ordered Kamatama udon, cold udon with dipping sauce, chicken tempura and orange soda. Kamata udon was spectacular with perfect combination of chewy udon and soy sauce broth. Raw egg on top makes udon silky and turns into half cooked egg sauce in the end. This is my favourite dish. Cold udon with dipping sauce is also nice. Chicken tempura is crispy on outside, extremely tender and juicy inside. It is kind of blend for just tasting tempura alone, but they offer salt / pepper on the side. I recommend to eat with salt which you can taste the flavour of chicken. Orange soda is not Fanta, instead, they serve us with jar of soda water and fresh orange, kinda fun when you make your own. Atmosphere is relaxing, full of locals grabbing a drink after work. I tried return to this restaurant in later part of trip, unfortunately they were short staffed and closed. Would recommend pay a visit if you are hanging around in hyogomachi and...

It's a pity that I found this place only during the last night of my stay in the city. I love the al dente texture of their udon and also the umami / savory broth. Their oden is also superb, the sauce is more to the light side which doesn't overwhelm the original taste of the radish and tofu. They only offer Japanese menu but I managed to understand half of it. The owner or staff were super friendly. I'll definitely take a detour next...

Absolutely the best udon noodles I have had in Japan in 10 years. Hand made, so we waited maybe 30mins for the udon maybe a little less. My partner had tamago and I had kamon (duck). Both completely different with the same udon.

The local katsuo sashimi also melted in our mouths despite being thick slices.

Quaint atmosphere, polite efficient staff. It's a gem.
