A bit off the beaten path but well worth the hike up the side of a mountain to get here. This restaurant only has 20 seats and fills up quickly.

We had an amazing experience at Kikusuke Curry Udon!
Variety: They offer both red and white curry udon, which we loved! Generous Service: At the end of the meal, we got a complimentary bowl of rice to enjoy with the leftover sauce – thoughtful touch!
